Barry Bonds Hits a Personal Home Run

With his baseball career in question, all-time home-run leader Barry Bonds is looking forward to starting the New Year off right.

"I am going skiing with my children then I'm going on my ten year anniversary," Bonds tells PEOPLE in his first media interview since being indicted on Nov. 15. "I got my wife a good vacation out of the country."

The sports legend is currently battling four counts of perjury and obstruction of justice for allegedly lying under oath during the federal grand jury trial investigating steroid use among pro athletes. In a message to his fans posted on his website, Bonds was confident he would be cleared of all charges.
