There's never a dull moment in the Barry Bonds circus.

The trial for baseball's all-time home-run king begins Monday with jury selection in San Francisco.

Bonds is charged with four counts of making false statements to a grand jury in December of 2003 and one count of obstruction of justice.

The biggest part of Bonds' defense is that he claims he didn't know that his trainer and childhood friend, Greg Anderson, gave him performance-enhancing drugs.

Anderson has spent more than a year in jail, thus far, for refusing to testify as a government witness to implicate Bonds, and he is refusing to testify again, which will likely garner him more jail time.

As Whodini's 'friends' play in the consciousness of anyone that has kept up with this trial, government officials say they can prove other counts without Anderson's testimony.

Each count comes with up to 10 years in federal prison, but could also potentially result in a tap on the wrist with house arrest. The outcome of the trial could also affect Bonds' chances of getting in to the Hall of Fame.

I'm not sure what Anderson is receiving for all of his loyalty, but I'm guessing it's something that's not on the market yet.

If Bonds gets a not guilty verdict, don't be surprised if every time we see Anderson, he's looking like Ron O' Neal.

The circus/trial should take about three weeks.
