That is disheartening to hear. One of the main arguments for getting steroids out of mlb was because of the idea that they could be more dangerous to the overall health of younger people.
I think the money has been the overriding factor then.
Bonds brought decent power when he played defense and had speed. He sacrificed the speed for the power.
Cobb did stay Musial was the closest thing to a perfect baseball player. Although Musials favorite player was DiMaggio, i think.
Vincent wanted roids banned, but it was only his desire. Many misinterpret his memo as a decree. Later in life, even Vincent said that his memo should not be taken as a declaration of a rule.
Slacker.
Baseball was really dangerous back in the day. Did you know that EVERY player from the MLB in 1900 is dead now? That is tragic!
Cobb probably will come in somewhere like 5th-6th
I find it fascinating that Bonds was the loser in the runoff for 2nd best player but Williams pulls off the 3rd best player spot. Logically, you'd think the player with the 2nd most votes for 2nd best player would get the most votes for 3rd best player. But, of course, roids clouds the process.
Ranked choice voting. Never Bonds group pulls from a large group it becomes spread out so Bonds makes top 2, when it gets to 2 they are unified against him.
And few of them are able to get into a protracted defense of their pick against Bonds. That is too bad.
Bonds has the best numbers, hands down, of anyone remaining. Why don’t you say the anti-Bonds people are ruining it? They are voting against him for purely emotional reasons that don’t rely an anything other than “He was a meany!”
What reason is there for taking him off the list?
And Aaron owned it thanks to greenies. And Ruth owned it because he was playing against mail carriers and grocery baggers.
