Barry Bonds never has admitted to using steroids. Apparently, Curt Schilling believes he has. The outspoken pitcher of the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday took some verbal shots at Bonds, who needs 12 homers to break Hank Aaron's all-time home run record. Bonds has been at the center of baseball's ongoing steroids controversy, but never has admitted to knowingly taking steroids. Schilling must have thought otherwise during an interview with WEEI on Tuesday. "He [Bonds] admitted he used steroids. There's no gray area," Schilling said on WEEI. "He [Bonds] admitted cheating on his wife, cheating on taxes and cheating on the game."

I am rooting for Bonds to break the so-called “record” that Aaron “holds” because it is so phony to begin with. Aaron hit 755 homers in almost TWICE the number of At-Bats (12,364) as Babe Ruth (8,399). If the Babe had hung around as long as Aaron, he would have had over 1400 homers! Ruth’s record was a far greater feat. Aaron does not deserve the record. Bonds has very nearly equaled that heat, having had only 1,000 more at-bats as Ruth. But to me the greatest record is HR/at-bat, and it is doubtful that anyone over 500 HRs will ever equal Ruth.
I’m a steroid-free weightlifter.
He used steroids to bulk up as he did. No question about it.
What baseball and the fans do with that is up to them.
