Bonds' lawyers filed a 60-page legal brief on Thursday with the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals arguing his con- viction was based on a rambling and irrelevant — but truth- ful — answer to a grand jury question about whether his trainer ever provided him with an injectable substance. Bonds, Major League Baseball's all-time home runs Bonds files appeal to leader, replied that he was a ''celebrity child'' rather than answering the question directly. Bonds' father was Bobby Bonds, a 13-year major league veteran and three-time All Star. A jury decided after a roughly three-week trial last year that the answer represented an obstruction of justice. The jury deadlocked on three other charges alleging Bonds lied to a grand jury when he denied knowing taking perfor- mance-enhancing drugs. Prosecutors dismissed those counts, brining an anticlimactic end to their eight-year pur- suit of Bonds. On Thursday, Bonds' attorneys stressed that federal investigators whiffed on proving the heart of their case See BONDS, page 2B
