Schilling: Take Back Clemens' Cy Youngs — Boston Red Sox's Curt Schilling pitches against the Colorado Rockies in Game 2 of the baseball World Series on Oct. 25, 2007. at Fenway Park in Boston. Schilling called on Roger Clemens to give up the four Cy Young Awards he's won since 1997 if he can't clear his name from allegations that he used steroids... (Associated Press)

If Roger Clemens doesn’t fight to clear his name, then he’s guilty in Curt Schilling’s book, and his post-1997 stats should be cleared from the record books. “There aren’t many options as a fan other than to believe his career 192 wins and 3 Cy Youngs he won prior to 1997 were the end,” Schilling wrote on his blog.

Schilling’s comments weren’t directed solely at Clemens, who he’s long admired, but to every Mitchell award-winner. If Schilling had ever been connected with steroids, “it would have taken about 20 minutes for me” to file a lawsuit, he says, and anything less is a tacit admission. He calls Jose Canseco a “sham,” and wants his entire career officially erased. (More Curt Schilling stories.)
