 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Everyone was buzzing about Barry Bonds. National League manager Tony La Russa had just posted his lineup for Tuesday night's All-Star game and Bonds, baseball's prodigy and pariah, was batting second, rather than his customary cleanup spot.
"I'm hitting fourth?" Ken Griffey Jr. said incredulously. "Just tell him to get the guys over for me."
Loved and loathed, admired and assailed, Bonds was the center of attention Monday as baseball's midsummer celebration returned to San Francisco for the first time in 23 years.
