Ortiz unsure if he's used steroids »
May 8, 2007
Curt Schilling, a guest this morning on the Dennis and Callahan radio show (with Dale Arnold sitting in Gerry Callahan's chair), said that fans should not embrace Barry Bonds' pursuit of Hank Aaron's major league home run record. Click here to listen to the full audio from WEEI.
Schilling said Bonds had admitted cheating on his wife, his taxes and steroids. He said race had nothing to do with his opinions, saying he did not care if Bonds was black or green or purple or yellow -- a nod perhaps to a recent poll that showed vastly different opinions among blacks and whites toward Bonds.
Schilling was much kinder to Roger Clemens, whom he called the greatest pitcher of all time. He said that while the Red Sox' pitching staff would continue to do well without the 44-year-old right-hander, Clemens has always succeeded in the past and that fans predicting his failure in New York were off-base. He said he could see more and more aging pitchers coming back for partial seasons, as Clemens has done. When asked if he would be interested in doing so, Schilling said he has not thought much about it, but indicated that it would be a possibility.
