Giuliani speaks out on Bonds: Former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani wants to be president, but he still thinks like a prosecutor when it comes to Barry Bonds.
Giuliani was asked about Bonds' controversial pursuit of the career home-run record while attending Monday night's Detroit Tigers-New York Yankees game at Comerica Park.
"The reality is that he set a record with a lot of questions hanging over him," said Giuliani, a former U.S. Attorney in New York. "Maybe it is because I spent so many years in the criminal justice system, but I still think of people as innocent until proven guilty.
"As a baseball fan, I hope we get the answers to all those questions someday. Right now, though, we don't have them."

Man pleads guilty in UK death: A man charged with fatally shooting a University of Kentucky football player as he celebrated his 21st birthday on a porch near campus pleaded guilty to manslaughter Monday.
In the plea agreement, Shane Ragland was sentenced to time served -- six years, including credit for 14 months of house arrest -- for the 1994 shooting of Trent DiGiuro.
Ragland was accused of targeting DiGiuro in revenge for keeping him out of a fraternity. He was convicted of murder in 2002 and sentenced to 30 years in prison, but he won a new trial after the state Supreme Court agreed the prosecutor had made an inappropriate comment during trial and used inadmissible evidence concerning a bullet.
Flyers' winning streak ends: The Kansas City T-Bones were able to hold off a surging Schaumburg Flyers team in the fourth game of a five-game series, snapping the Flyers' three-game winning streak Monday night at Alexian Field.
