SAN FRANCISCO — Civil rights activist Jesse Jackson said he is "astonished" that Major League Baseball has virtually ignored Barry Bonds' pursuit of the all-time home run record. Baseball commissioner Bud Selig contradicted a report Tuesday that he would attend games when Bonds is poised to pass Hank Aaron as the game's home run king.
