Not gonna lie, I loved the steroid era. Baseball was electric and brought back from the dead.The Juggler said:
By "real" you mean fake, right? Because of all the steroids?tempo_n_groove said:
94 was the year that "shit got real".Ledbetterman10 said:
Jesus, that's surprising. I know he had some really good years around that time. But damn.tempo_n_groove said:
Matt Williams had 43. He had a chance too.Ledbetterman10 said:Add Griffey to the list of people that were having great years in '94. He had 40 homeruns in just 111 games. He might have gone on to break Maris' record.
Bagwell could have won the triple crown and had a hell of a chance if 1, the season didn't end and 2, he didn't break his hand and 3, Tony Gwynn floated back down to earth, lol!
After 94 baseball started to get silly. Following the 95 season McGwire didn't average less than 50 HR a year for the next 7 on average...
You knew pretty much EVERYONE was doing it and if you didn't know that then shame on you.
When I saw Dante Bichette on the cover of SI with these friggin guns I knew what I had suspected all along.

^^^No doubt quite a few of us probably knew what was going on^^^. My friend and I use to laugh at the talking heads on TV and reporters were saying the Balls must be juiced. We were like: "The balls are juiced?" HAHHAHA The PLAYERS are JUICED !!"". A lot of those players are around my age and we knew about steroids in HS.Post edited by cutz on0

I'll take pre steroid era baseball over the inflated nonsense of the 90's and early 2000's any day of the week.
Yeah it was cool watching Mcgwire and Sosa go at it in '98....but in the back of my head I was thinking, even during that time, that there should be an asterisk next to the record. It didn't seem totally legit. And then things just got silly after that and the record was distorted even further.www.myspace.com0 -

The Chinese Professional Baseball League returned to action this week after COVID-19 delayed the start of its regular season, and there has already been a benches-clearing incident.
So much for social distancing.
In Sunday's contest between the Rakuten Monkeys and Fubon Guardians, Guardians right-hander Henry Sosa hit Monkeys infielder Kuo Yen-Wen with a pitch inside, and both benches quickly emptied onto the field. Sosa had been working the hitter inside the entire at-bat, reaching a 3-0 count that caused a brief discussion with the home plate umpire. Sosa then hit him with the next pitch, and pandemonium ensued.
Because of the global pandemic, games are being played without fans in attendance, though cardboard cutouts can be seen in the stands.
After things settled down, the Monkeys went on to win Saturday's game 3-1.

Can we put out a list of HOFers that shouldn't be there?
I question Joe Dimaggio, yeah I'm prepared for this one.
Kirby Puckett
Ted Simmons
Ron Santo
Allan Trammel
And pretty much anyone the veterans committee puts in.
I loved Larry Walker but yeah, him too.

I agree with Santo on the field, but his post career work should be accounted for.Kirby was going to get 3000 hits easily and was a stud in the postseason.
Simmons was one of the very best offensive catchers in his time. Would’ve made more sense if he was inducted when great offensive catchers weren’t as common.
Maybe I’m missing something with Trammel but I really don’t see how he’s in.With you on Larry Walker but people don’t remember how good he was.I’ll go Dawson. Bit of a compiler.0 -

With Puckett, if it wasn't for his 2 rings then no way he gets in.
I agree w the Hawk. It's ok to compile, that's what you do but you also have to be great for 10 years at least.
Jim Rice is another one.0 -
Yeah, I realize that is technically true but no way he gets in without being the most lovable loser post career.
Puckett would’ve been a lock without the forced retirement, whether he had rings or not.0 -
You can use that argument for Puckett the same way you can for Matingly...DewieCox said:Yeah, I realize that is technically true but no way he gets in without being the most lovable loser post career.

You could and e he’s still not HoF. Puckett played 2 fewer years and had 200 more hits and his career stopped dead in its tracks and he balled out en route to 2 rings.0

Puckett?
1st ballot HOF in my opinion.
318 career batting avg. Again, .318 CAREER BATTING AVG.
4 times led the league in hits.
Won a batting title.
On top of his post season accomplishments.
Take me piece by piece.....
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....0 -

Mind you I don't think Mattingly should be in either but here are the comparisons.SPEEDY MCCREADY said:Puckett?

If you can't see how close their numbers are and how they should be mentioned in the same breath then I don't know what else to say...
