A day after Friday night's fan incident at AT&T Park, Giants slugger Barry Bonds told a small group of reporters that security at the ballpark needs to be increased for all the players, not just the man who is closing in on Hank Aaron's all-time home run record.
And a Giants spokesman said there will be some adjustments.
"This is about baseball players, all of us," Bonds said prior to the Giants' rematch against the Diamondbacks on Saturday night. "I think you need to go to Major League Baseball and direct that question to them. It's fair for you to ask them what their responsibilities are, not just for me, but to all of us as Major League players.
"This is not my ballpark. I just work here like you all. I'm an employee. All the employees should be protected."

Willie Mays will be honored with a nationally televised tribute prior to the All-Star game in San Francisco next month.
The Hall of Famer, a New York and San Francisco Giants star, will be a focus of pregame activity on July 10 at AT&T Park, MLB said Friday.
On the morning of the All-Star game, the Hunters Point Boys and Girls club will be named after him. San Francisco owner Peter Magowan said during spring training he hoped Mays would be a big part of the city's first All-Star game since 1984 and first in its 8-year-old waterfront ballpark.

Barry Bonds is going to have a harder time enjoying his home runs if the Giants keep losing close games.
Bonds hit his 750th career home run, an inning after getting a startling hug from a fan in a 4-3, 10-inning loss to Arizona on Friday night. The homer pulled the San Francisco slugger within five of tying Hank Aaron's record, but Miguel Montero hit a solo homer off Brad Hennessey in the 10th for the Diamondbacks, who sent San Francisco to its third straight defeat.
