You get a dozen for a dime ...
It's magic ...

COOPERSTOWN, NY — The baseball world was rocked by controversy as the ban on famed two-way baseball legend Bugs Bunny entering the Baseball Hall of Fame over allegations of performance-enhancing carrot use was once again upheld.
According to MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred, Bugs Bunny's .578 batting average, 812 career home runs, .652 on-base percentage, 8,002 career hits, and 10,000 strikeouts as a pitcher continue to be ruled ineligible for consideration because of his "frequent, egregious, and obstreperous" use of performance-enhancing carrots.
"Cheating has no place in the game of baseball, much less the Hall of Fame,'" Manfred said. "Officials during Bugs's era didn't realize what was going on for a long time — or why Bugs was visiting farmers' markets so frequently. Eventually, he got caught with the dirty carrots. It's a shame, because he put up numbers no one else can ever touch. How much of it was because of the help he got from the carrots? We'll never know. Unfortunately, his career will forever be tainted by this black mark."
Though Bugs Bunny can still lay claim to the title of being the only pitcher in baseball history to ever strike out three batters on one pitch, his exclusion from the Hall of Fame promised to continue to spark widespread discontent from sports fans across the country.
At publishing time, Bugs had also been retroactively stripped of his 1946 Most Valuable Player award.

I knew he was cheating. Nobody runs that fast without ‘enhancements’.

It would have been more amusing to be punished for betting on whether he got to Albuquerque
“Of course you know....This Means War!”
Ban him from the golf hall of fame too for lying on a scorecard. He changed a 55 on one hole to a 1.
Yosemite Sam was banned as well for playing for the “wrong team”!

MacRory: There are no La Brea Tar Pits in Scotland!
Bugs Bunny: Scotland? Eh, what’s up, MacDoc?
When someone asks who was your hero, who was the one who inspired you?
I immediately think of Bugs Bunny.
Elmer Fudd and Daffy Duck got together and they’re behind this conspiracy!
Bugs did his best work during WW II
Bugs and Chuck Norris were scheduled to play an exhibition game against each other. It was canceled when the baseballs refused to play.
Foghorn Leghorn and Maxwell Smart were substituted, with the big chicken striking out the secret agent in the 9th inning. On the last pitch, he “missed it by that much”.
Them doggone carrot nebblers will do it every time.
