    got one of my many auction catalogs today (goldin)

    a bonds gamer started at $500 and is at $4000.

    sosa gamer started at $150 and is at $225.

    palmiero gamer started at $100 and is still at $100.

    that’s about how I see all three in regard to HOF worthiness.
    A bonds gamer?  As in game worn?  What is game worn?

    Also you got any Kevin Merrell Bowman chrome color autos?

    I just did the math.  If you take the 'roid years away (98-03), Sosa averaged 32.45 HR per 162 games.  Stretch that out over his career and he'd have 472 HR.  More than Bagwell, who was elected last year, and more than Chipper & Vlad who were just elected.  I know HR isn't the only metric for enshrinement into the HOF, but to suggest his numbers wouldn't have been good enough is not only pure speculation, but most likely inaccurate as well.
    the roid years? Canseco said he started doing them his rookie year in 1986. So 98 is when it all started? lol
    That is the year that Sosa's number soared.
