Baseball is a game of rules and statistics...
Baseball is not a game for chemistry mutant freaks, who cheat and lie...
Baseball is dead, but for folks like you -- Freakball is still available... Just keep a separate "Record Book" and build your own Hall of Shame..
Enjoy!
Semper Fi
Beg pardon...?
Show me where I have defended, justified or even suggested the allowance of steroids or any type of atheletic-enhancing drugs in the game of BaseBall...can you?...Of course you can't, because it has never happened.
And please, save your "folks like you" comment for a different thread. There is no need to a) make misleading claims about anothers posts b) use perjorative comments unneccessarily.
Bottom Line: I think Pete Rose has the stats and record which justifies his inclusion in the Hall of Fame. Mark McGwire, Barry Bonds and whatever other drug/steroid users do not deserve a place there. Their stats are as tweaked as they were - not legitamate. Chemically enhanced as it were.
Thats my argument. Nothing more.
