SAN FRANCISCO — Major League Baseball’s all-time home run leader on Monday asked a federal appeals court to reconsider its refusal to overturn his felony obstruction conviction.

Former San Francisco Giants slugger Barry Bonds made his longshot request of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco. A three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit upheld Bonds’ conviction in September. A jury found him guilty in April 2011. The jury deadlocked on three other counts that Bonds made false statements stemming from his denial that he knowingly used performance-enhancing drugs, and those charges were later dismissed.
