Rose?

Fake bloody sock is a piece of garbage. But his stats (and big mac’s) are more than worthy

My hall takes are very fallible in that I use ‘feels like a HOF’. Neither one does to me.

 

[NorCalVol67]

Rose?

Always was for me until he came out with his book. He was my second favorite player in the 70s.

But, a HOF career without question.

A friend of mine’s Dad pitched on the Big Red Machine teams and Pete is her godfather.

Oh, and comparing him to garbage is an insult to garbage everywhere.

@Behr, what do you think about it?

 

[508mikey]

Bonds should be in the Hall without question.

I agree - these nerd sportswriters shouldnt be the ones electing HOF players

 

[82_VOL_83]

you mean a sacrifice fly, right, because a sacrifice bunt would be a fielders choice, right?
it's really been a while since I thought about it

Not necessarily. Scorers decision. Fielder has to have a chance to get either runner and make the "choice".

 

[82_VOL_83]

In hindsight, there are at least five:

Bonds
Clemens
Schilling
A-Rod
McGwire

 

[volfanbill]

A-Rod was the best SS on a team that featured another SS that was one vote shy of unanimous HoF Selection.

But I'm curious how you are ok with Clemens, but not the ones you struck through.

I would agree with A-Rod but can't stand him. He's a little bitch. The other two are steroid induced records.

So Clemens and Schilling are big bit**es and thus get a pass? Clemens was even cited as a steroid use himself

Are you a baseball card collector?

 

[volfanbill]

Are you a baseball card collector?

no. just a big baseball fan. why?

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Just curious because you are one of the few in here that discuss baseball. I played until around 15 then lost interest but still possess a large collection of sports cards (mostly baseball).

Hey, it's my opinion.

@Souce, can you believe how immature this guy is.

@Souce, can you believe how immature this guy is.

I'm not disagreeing, I'm still laughing

@Souce, can you believe how immature this guy is.

It's really sad. I've tried to mentor him and provide examples of how to be an respectable mature human, but none of my training has made an impact.

NorCal used to be fun when he drank more. Now, he's complaining of everyone's maturity...
