Pro slugger Barry Bonds was sentenced to house arrest, probation and community service hours. Today, a federal judge ordered baseball star Barry Bonds to 30 days house arrest, two years probation, and 250 hours of community service. According to reports, the former MLB outfielder will remain free, while he appeals his conviction for giving misleading testimony before a grand jury.

U.S. District Judge Susan Illston also put on hold a $4,000 fine against Bonds for his obstruction of justice conviction arising from a grand jury appearance eight years ago. Well-wishers hugged the 47-year-old Bonds in the hallway outside the courtroom after the hearing was over.
