ATLANTA – As the Barry Bonds’ March 2 trial grows closer and pieces of the prosecutors’ case against MLB’s home run record- holder continue to go public, if there was any doubt whether Hank Aaron supports Bonds as home run king, those questions may have been answered.

In an interview Aaron this week with the Atlanta-Journal-Constitution, the retired player made his opinion clear saying the HR record belongs to Bonds and should not be taken away.

“In all fairness to everybody, I just don’t see how you really can do a thing like that and just say somebody isn’t the record holder anymore, and let’s go back to the way that it was,” Aaron told the AJC.

“If you did that, you’d have to go back and change all kinds of records. It (the home run record) is probably the most hallowed record out there, as far as I’m concerned, but it’s now in the hands of somebody else. It belongs to Barry.”

“Really, it’s sort of a tricky call when you start going down that road of who is legitimate,” Aaron added in the interview.

These are strong points made by one of baseball’s greatest players of all time. If Bonds is stripped of the record, does that force MLB to strip A-Rod of his MVP award he won in 2003 and Roger Clemens, if convicted, of his laundry-list of strikeout records and seven Cy Young awards.

The list would go on and on. Major League Baseball would have to rewrite their record books and Cooperstown would have to apply asterisks to or garage sale many of their memorabilia displays.

NASHVILLE – Roger Clemen’s ex-lover country singer Mindy McCready is recovering in a hospital after she was admitted due to another suicide attempt. 

McCready, who recently admitted to having an affair with the Cy Young winning fast-baller attempted suicide on Wednesday night.

According to police reports released to the media, Timothy McCready, brother of the singer discovered his sister had sliced her wrists and taken several pills after a night of binging.

McCready is said to be in stable condition and her attorney Lee Ofman said he had no details on the situation.

Clemens is still being investigated for possible perjury for his testimony in front of Congress in the MLB steroid scandal.

Clemens also had denied having an affair with McCready but the country star confirmed that they had indeed done the deed on several occasions years after they met when she was 16-years-old.

The more questions that are asked, the more info people offer, the deeper the hole gets for 7-time Cy Young winner, Roger Clemens to crawl out of, unless of course that hole gets so deep he ends up buried in it.

The hole started out small with accusations of steroid use coming from a few “I’ll-do-anything-for-a-buck” guys, Jose Canseco and injector-trainer Brian McNamee.

That hole increased in size when photos emerged placing Clemens at a Canseco party that Clemens, while under oath, outright denied being at.

In an interview with Mindy McCready, done by Inside Edition, that hole may end up deeper and bury Clemens who may have to find a better rebuttal than, “I know ex-president Bush and went hunting with him”.

The debate on whether Clemens lied under oath has grown very lopsided over the months since he lied, I mean, testified before Congress pertaining to that steroid Mitchell Report.

That latest chatter from ex-jailbird McCready, who Clemens denied having an affair with, will be more than just a headache for Roger.

According to CBS.com, McCready told Inside Edition she “met Clemens when she was 16, not 15,” as reported by the Daily News last April. She told the news magazine, they met in a karaoke bar, that her relationship with the pitcher didn’t turn sexual until several years later and the relationship lasted for a decade.

McCready went on to say, “We went on vacations together. We went to Palm Springs. We went to Las Vegas, New York City.”

McCready also was quoted by the Daily News: “He (Clemens) should have just told Debbie (his wife) and been honest with her. If he didn’t want to be with her and wanted to be with me, he should have told her.”

Expect that hole to be 6-feet deep when this fiasco is over.
