During an interview on MLB.com, Barry Bonds admits his injured right knee will most likely keep him from playing this season. The 41-year-old Giants slugger needs 12 home runs to pass Babe Ruth (714) and 54 to go ahead of Hank Aaron (755) to become the all-time home run leader. Bonds will return for a few games in September and will break Aaron’s record in 2007.
