Agent: 'Barry Bonds will never play again'

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 10 (UPI) -- Major League home run leader Barry Bonds is done with baseball, his agent, Jeff Borris, told the San Francisco Chronicle.

Bonds, 45, last played in the majors in the 2007 season, but because of his problems with obstruction of justice charges in the BALCO probe, alleged steroids usage and gimpy knees, no team has offered him a contract.

The seven-time National League MVP has said he would not retire, hoping he a team would call.

He hit 762 home runs in 23 seasons.

"It's two years since he played his last game, and if there was any chance he'd be back in a major league uniform, it would have happened by now," Borris said Wednesday in an interview with the Chronicle. "Now, (its 2010 (and) ... I'd say it's nearly impossible. It's an unfortunate ending to a storied career."

In his career, Bonds compiled 1,996 RBI, 2,558 walks, a .298 batting average, and a .444 on-base percentage.
