Barry Bonds plans to play for the U.S. team in the World Baseball Classic in March. The San Francisco Giants slugger has told the players' association he'll play, the The Oakland Tribune reported Wednesday. "It's not official," agent Jeff Borris told the paper. "There are still a few details to be worked out. But he has agreed to play." It's a promising sign for the Giants and Bonds, given that he played in only 14 games because of knee problems this season. Union special assistant Bobby Bonilla told the Tribune that he contacted his former Pittsburgh Pirates teammate shortly after the season. "I'm ecstatic," Bonilla told the paper. "He pretty much agreed in principle to play without hesitation. I'm just happy he's going to be a part of it.
