Peterson The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO — Barry Bonds is out for at least 2 1/2 months after surgery on his throw ing arm Tuesday—the first signif icant injury to an All-Star player who rarely missed a game dining his 12-year career. The San Francisco Giants left fielder had surgery at Recovery Inn in Menlo Park to repair a tri ceps tendon and a bone spur in his left elbow. He was placed on the 15-day disabled list for only the second time. The operation was performed by San Jose Sharks team physician Dr. Arthur Ting. Giants physician Dr. Bill Montgomery, who observed the procedure, said Bonds was placed in an elbow splint and will be fitted with a brace this week. For now, the Giants, one of the National League’s best hitting teams, will now be without their best hitter for a minimum of 10 weeks. Bonds, an eight-time All-Star and seven-time Gold Glove winner, was batting .366 with 12 RBIs and four home runs. He had a league-leading .805 slugging percentage. “It’s probably one of the largest challenges I’ve faced since I’ve been manager here,” manager Dusty Baker said. Giants trainer Mark Letendre said the expected recovery period was based on several factors, in cluding Bonds’ past ability to heal quickly from injury. “We’re hopeful it will be on the shorter end of 10 weeks rather than the longer end,” he said. Stan Conte, the Giants’ assistant athletic trainer who also observed the surgery, said the bone spur and damaged tendon tissue were right on top of each other. “The tissue looked better than we feared, but not as good as we hoped,” he said. The first inkling of a problem came Friday during batting prac tice in Phoenix. Bonds told Baker his left elbow was bothering him. Baker dismissed speculation that the injury occurred during or just after a bench-clearing brawl Friday night against the Arizona Diamondbacks. “That’s crazy,” Baker said. Letendre said the injury was from “chronic overuse.” “In this case, the injury just hap pened to catch up with Barry,” he said. Bonds’ only other stint on the disabled list came with Pittsburgh in 1992 because of a strained right side. NFL plots return to City of Angels By Ken Peters The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — In what could be the NFL’s first $1 billion deal for a stadium and franchise, the league wants to put a team back in the Los Angeles Colise um. NFL commissioner Paul Tagli abue made it official Tuesday that the 76-year-old stadium is the league’s choice for its 32nd fran chise. Yet to be determined is who will own the team — developer Ed Roski and his New Coliseum I Partners, or Hollywood deal-mak er Michael Ovitz, who endorsed the Coliseum last week after aban doning his proposal for a new sta dium in suburban Carson. Tagliabue did not rule out other potential ownership groups emerging. At a Coliseum news confer ence, the commissioner also said the league’s team owners decided against holding an auction for the expansion franchise, and instead will set a price. Saying the aim was to make the New Coliseum a reality, Tagli abue added, “If we succeed in do ing that, we will be talking about a project that will involve, in round numbers, $1 billion of in vestment, in terms of the stadium, the Exposition Park area (site of the stadium) and the ownership of the team.” The league owners voted 29-2 last month to award the expansion team to the Los Angeles area, the nation’s second-biggest TV mar ket, on a conditional basis. They set a Sept. 15 deadline for reaching agreement with whatever site and group they chose for the team.
