PITTSBURGH (AP) – With his place in home-run history secure, Barry Bonds says next season likely will be his last.

Bonds previously talked about playing in 2008. Yesterday, the 43-year-old Giants slugger looked toward retirement.

“[Playing] after next year? I don’t know. I don’t think so,” he said. “I don’t think two years I can make.”

As for where he’d finish up, Bonds wasn’t sure.

“It’s hard for me to think about that right now, I’m a Giant,” he said. “That’s who I am, it would be hard for me to take that uniform off. It would be very hard. But I don’t know yet, I have a lot of time to think about it in the wintertime.”

Bonds said he wants to play one more season because he still has some reachable goals.

“Yeah, I need to win a championship and get 3,000 hits, that would be nice to [end] my career,” he said.

Bonds has 2,919 hits after getting a single in the first game of yesterday’s makeup doubleheader against Pittsburgh.

The last-place Giants are expected to undergo an offseason roster overhaul to get younger, and it is anticipated they may finally cut ties with Bonds despite his strong production – 24 homers and 56 RBIs. Bonds, who has played for the Giants since 1993, is unsigned past this season.
