SAN FRANCISCO — Sue Burns, a part owner of the San Francisco Giants and devoted philanthropist who was close friends with home run king Barry Bonds, died. She was 58.

Burns died early Sunday of complications from cancer, the team said. She was diagnosed with the disease July 10 and missed Jonathan Sanchez's no-hitter for the Giants that night — a rare absence from the ballpark. Burns attended a game against San Diego the previous day.

The Burns family was largely responsible for keeping the Giants in the Bay Area in 1992 rather than relocating to Florida.
