Somebody sign him pleaseeee

 

I can't remember but was it ever proven that he took steroids?

 

He never failed a test but he was named on the Mitchell report.

 

who even cares tbh steroids straight up saved baseball. all those guys should be in the hall.

 

fart

 

You def have a point there ha

@Wharf Rat I wasn't saying I minded, I just heard about it then felt like I didn't hear anything else for the rest of the season.

 

I don't want to glorify it, but they should be in the hall. The whole game was tainted at the time, punishing the few guys who were better than all the other cheaters doesn't do anything.

 

I really want someone to sign him. He's at 2935 hits, and an AB will reset his HOF clock. Also, he definitely got completely blackballed after 07. I read this today:

2008 World Series losing Rays combined DH slash line: .236/.321/.425 for a wRC+ of 99

Barry Bonds in 07: 276/.480/.565 for a wRC+ of 157

Like they couldn't have used him.

 

Babe Ruth injected himself with extract from sheep testicles. Wonder if that played a role in HoF voting.

 

what an anecdote

 

Holy shit lol

 

the bathrooms will smell so bad

 

It's definitely one of those changing of times/things change moments. Not that that's necessarily good, but it would be really odd to have nobody in the hall after a certain year solely because the era was known as being users.

 

Doesn't look like Puig is getting a suspension.

 

Last year my family got tickets to see the Marlins during their Passover celebration (cleverly dubbed Passover In The Park) and they went all out. T-shirt give away, pre-game performance by a Jewish men's acapella group. There was also an uptick in ads for Hebrew National

 

That's kinda awesome but I feel like that's kinda stereotypical too lol.

 

Sounds like the LaRoche/White Sox situation isn't going away anytime soon. Talks of getting the Player's Union involved and the players are demanding a meeting with Jerry Reinsdorf.

 

just because you take roids or HGH doesn't make you automatically a better baseball player. Bonds is the best hitter I've ever seen in my life and should be in the hall ten years ago

 

he was still playing 10 years ago

 

he was that good

 

Apparently when Williams met with the team Sale was screaming at him and told him to get the fuck out of the clubhouse. Jeeze

 

Is this just a team thing or are we heading towards another strike?

 

this is one dude and some of his teammates vs. the rest of the team and the FO, not the player's union vs the league. nothing like the strike haha
