Giants killer: Bonds sidelined
By Anne M. 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.
