Bonds conviction overturned
Barry Bonds' obstruction of justice conviction was reversed Wednesday by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco, which ruled his meandering answer before a grand jury in 2003 was not material to the government's investigation into steroids distribution.
Bonds, baseball's career home runs leader, was indicted in 2007 for his testimony four years earlier before the grand jury investigating the illegal distribution of performance-enhancing drugs by the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative.
Retiring as a Yankee
The Yankees say Bernie Williams will sign a minor-league contract Friday and then retire, nine years after playing his last game.
New York said Wednesday it will host a news conference with Williams before Friday night's game against the Mets, and Williams will throw out the ceremonial first pitch.
New York announced it will retire Williams' No. 51 on May 24.
