when will barry bonds retire?

As soon as Greg Anderson gets smart and stops doing Barry's jail time for him.  One that happens Bonds will be officially charged with perjury and be sent to jail.  He won't be able to hit home runs from his jail cell.

I think either after this season or next season he will retire. I think he wants to try and break Hank Aaron's record if he can.

Bonds is 41 away from Aaron. On his current pace Bonds would need at least three years to make Aaron's mark. His health is questionable and age is getting the best of him. Not to mention he isn't taking steroids very likely now! So I would say no but it is possible and no I hope he doesn't. He and others like him who have used these drugs have tarnished the great game. Babe's only drug was a cigar and bottle of JD!!

Drop Bonds. You'll get too many walks. Not to mention he isn't really playing full time. I don't think his knees will last all season.

The National League MVP will be announced on November 20th, with the AL announcement the next day:\n\nhttp://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/awards/y2006/index.jsp

Hopefully none. Realistically, however, he may win 5 or 6. We can count on Roger to keep up the drama (He is the drama king of baseball) and mystery as to whether or not he will "retire" after this season. Stay tuned. Roger will have more and more and more to say about this in the future. He will mumble and stumble, and we will be left to figure out just what it was that he said.\n\nHope you agree.

He retired in 2005 after playing his entire career with the Reds.  He currently has a job working with the Washington Nationals as the Special Assistant to the General Manager.

Glavine has already announced that as soon as her reaches 300 wins he will retire.  He is currently at 290 wins.  Now whether he completes the season or not is still an open question.  I'm sure he will re-sign with the Mets because they give him the best chance to win.  Now if the Mets are doing well as we all think they will, he will probably finish the season with them via playoffs and possible world series appearance.  I'm sure he will win at least 10 games in 2007.

Bonds is a liar, racist, crook and a wife beater. He has absolutely no integrity with intelligent people of character, and no I don't think he will be, nor should be in the HOF. \n\nTo all the bonds supporters, which why you would support him is beyond me: Take a look at his body and stats prior to 1990. He had less than 85 homers and he was well under 200 pounds. Now all of a sudden at the age of 42 he has almost achieved the all time HR record and put on more muscle as he's gotten older? Can you say abnormal pattern to reality and reverse terms then the rest of us?\n\nAre we to believe that he is just blessed with again gracefully and just happens to be superman as he ages? Does he happen to have a tree in his backyard that produces anti-aging and reverse again fruit? Think again!\n\nIt's clearly unnatural and against nature the process and pattern by which he's gone, so clearly he's been juicing. Not to mention yet another wonderful role model for the black community, who is already overraught with wonderful thugs like Ray Lewis that set such a wonderful example.\n\nNo wonder today's youth and minority population is primarily heading in the wrong direction, when they turn on their Tv's and see these types of things, who is essence of action are saying: "Do whatever you want, lie, cheat and steal if you have to in order to win, and if anyone questions you for it, just play the race card".\n\nBonds and people like you that support him are a damn disgrace to the sport, the true classy legends that built it and to the country. Shame on you if you have any.

Several ways of looking at this:\n\nFirst off, Bonds doesn't really care about passing Hank Aaron, but he desparately wants to pass Babe Ruth.\n\nHe'll retire sometime after 715 but before 755.\n\nHis knees are to the point where it's an obvious effort for him even to jog around the bases after a Home Run. \n\nOne the one hand, he could pass Babe Ruth, and then retire shortly after (as in shortly after that game).\n\nOr, he could stick around to hit a few more homers and approach Aaron's record, just to get the sportswriters in a tizzy... and THEN announce his retirement just short of the record.\n\nI don't think he has any intention of trying to pass Aaron, but he does want to pass Babe Ruth.\n\nBonds has a tremendous amount of respect for Aaron's record, and for Aaron himself. He has displayed a major lack of respect for Babe Ruth and his records for two reasons: (1) Ruth was white and (2) the media has worshiped the Babe since the 1920s. Ruth was the most popular player in baseball history.\n\nIronically, when Babe Ruth was playing, a number of stories circulated about him, alluidng to the rumor that he was an illegitimate child of a black man (because of the way his nose was shaped).  Many people, including players from other teams, would refer to Ruth as a "half-_____ )  (i.e. the "N" word), which would infuriate him.\n\nThese rumors were without foundation... Babe Ruth and the man known as his father looked enough alike to be twins.\n\n\n\nBut back to Bonds... he doesn't care what anyone else thinks of him. \n\nHe'll be perfectly content to pass Babe Ruth, but leave Aaron's record alone.

He is retired.. has not played in the major leagues since 2003. He was last with the minor league team of the Kansas City Royals in 2004-2005.

I think that Barry Bonds should be up there with his godfather, Willie Mays, but not with the babe and hank arron. Without the steriods he still would have hit a ton, even if what the book Game of Shadows says is true, and he started in 1998, the pace that he was going on, he still probably would have reached 600. And even 600 is enough to be put in the same category as the babe and aaron, but not worthy of being on the exact same level as the two greatest homerun hitters of all time.

I totally agree with you!  I am so sick of players retiring and "un-retiring"...Boxers used to be notorious for this, but now, it's extending to all sports, with the latest two examples being Clemens and Favre.  And in Clemens' case, they stopped a World Series game for his 'last pitch'.
