Bonds arrives at camp

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) ? Barry Bonds arrived at spring training Tuesday with two waves for the swarm of people waiting to see him, then quickly entered Scottsdale Stadium to get to work.

Noticeably absent were his two personal trainers, Greg Oliver and Harvey Shields, who no longer can be with the San Francisco slugger at the ballpark. Bonds, who spent the weekend in Las Vegas for the NBA All-Star game, was flanked by his two publicists and a Major League Baseball security guard assigned to him.

He joked with new teammate Barry Zito in their corner space of the clubhouse, then the 42-year-old Bonds made his way through the room and greeted outfielder Jason Ellison, infielder Rich Aurilia and pitcher Matt Morris. Clubhouse staff headed his way with undershorts and hats.

Bonds took part in a team meeting before walking to the field for the Giants? first full-squad workout. He was scheduled to hold his annual spring media address afterward.
