Schilling apologizes, praises Jewish prophet

[yendi]

Curt Schilling has apologized for his comments about Barry Bonds. To his credit, he comes across as damned sincere and contrite (and Schilling's level of public access is leagues beyond that of any other player; you not only get the impression he writes his own stuff, but there's never any sense that that anyone else has to approve the contents, as with the MLB.com blogs).

But he also makes the interesting comment that, "The only perfect human to walk the face of the earth died a few thousand years ago, that much I know."

Either he's praising the prophet Samuel*, or he's overestimating how long ago Jesus walked.

*Or possibly King Solomon. We'll assume that David and Saul were never in the running.
