Barry Bonds played his final game with the San Francisco Giants Wednesday night, an 11-3 loss to the San Diego Padres at AT&T Park. Bonds was hitless in three at bats and committed an error but nearly homered in his final at-bat.

Barry Bonds and the San Francisco Giants will part ways at the end of the 2007 season, according to a team statement issued on September 21, in which club officials said their plans of rebuilding the team do not include Bonds, thus they will not re-sign him next season.

He won't play in his team's season-ending series at Dodger Stadium which starts Friday either as he is suffering from a sprained big toe on his right foot.

Most of the 42,926 fans attending the game were cheering and chanting, but regardless of how many “go Bonds” signs the fans had displayed, the expression on Barry’s face barely changed.

Padres starter Jake Peavy, over which Bonds hit his 700th homer, walked over and hugged Bonds while his teammates cheered from the dugout.

With shiny eyes, Bonds walked off the pitch as he was clapping his hands as a sign of appreciation towards his fans. He entered the Giants dugout and shook hands with all of his colleagues and vanished into the clubhouse, ending his Giants career by going hitless in three at-bats in the 11-3 loss.

"I'm sure it had to be a difficult day for Barry," Giants GM Bruce Bochy said. "But he handled it well."

The latest reports that Bond’s record-braking ball will be branded with and asterisk - suggesting his alleged use of steroids - before being sent to the Hall of Fame didn’t spoil the enthusiasm of the fans attending his last game with the Giants, and probably the last of his career.

His fans resumed cheering at the end of a post game tribute to Bonds on the video scoreboard. His teammates came out of the clubhouse and threw balls in the stands, but Bonds didn’t.

And that was all, no good-bye speech, no tears. The only emotion Bonds displayed was in the Giants' clubhouse before the game as he spoke to his teammates.

"He said some stuff from the heart. He was talking about his 15 years here." reliever Steve Kline said.

"I think there's a lot of sadness," Giants’ executive vice president Larry Baer said. "But when you step back from the sadness, you challenge yourself to think of any other runs in sports like this. He never had a bad year. A lot of things happened in this park that nobody will forget."
