The San Francisco Giants seem determined to cut all ties with Barry Bonds, so much so that images featuring the steroid-suspected slugger have been banished from the ballpark.

REUTERS reports that banners & billboards of Bonds have been bumped from AT&T Park. As the article states, “The left field wall no longer bears an image of Bonds chasing (Hank) Aaron for the home run crown, nor elsewhere is the number of Bonds’ home runs in relation to Aaron posted.”

The Giants have also denied rumors that they would be willing to welcome Barry back, even at a reduced price.

The 43-year-old Bonds has claimed that he’s “fit and ready to play“. Plus, he’ll have plenty of time on his hands before he’s hauled into court to face federal perjury charges.

But team president Peter Magowan maintained that his club was “going in a new direction“, and that re-acquiring Bonds “would not be going in a new direction. The time has come to turn the page.”

However, the Giants don’t appear to be totally dissing their ex-employee. A team spokesman said they plan to “put up a plaque to note where he had hit his last homer.”

Interesting, since Bonds’ last home run - #762 - was actually belted out of Coors Field in Colorado. So, such a move would be a win-win for the Giants - they can say they’re honoring Barry’s contributions to the franchise, and at the same time still keep his name out of their own park.
