well if you want to beat me over the head with them, get them right.

[MikefromOhio]

Just answer the question.

Jeter is the better postseason player.

and yes you have hijacked the damned thread.

How about you send me a FReepmail and take it off of the thread.

Where is the evidence that the man did steroids?

Lots of rumors, but where was the proof if steroids again?

[Libloather]

But an objective, historical view of both sports recognizes the greater significance baseball has had on the culture of this country.

That was a good ride, but it's time to get off. Culture - juiced balls, juiced bats, & juiced players? Gotta love that. And what's to follow after all that culture? College (*CLINK*) baseball.

The 70's? When was the last time you saw an outfield so deadly that they could throw out ANYONE at the plate? My guess - the 70's. These days, you'll be lucky to find players who know and understand the rules of baseball let alone someone who can hit the cut-off man.

Football is king. It always will be. Baseball may have come first but football reigns in every category. Open a baseball stadium and you better have a pretty good beer special. Open a football stadium and you better worry about printing enough tickets...

[MikefromOhio]

I'ved asked you to take it too FReepmail.

But I think I'd rather ignore you as well.

Baseball has had much more of an influence on American culture than football has, bottom line and original point.

It's in his biceps...in his face...Give it a rest. The man is a 'roid head. Anyone who doesn't see that, simply doesn't want to.

[KoRn]

He shouldn't have even reached the point to break those records with his steroid inflated statistics. If Pete Rose can get thrown out of the game for gambling, Bonds should have been thrown out easily. His records mean nothing to me, and they should mean nothing to anyone else.

[r9etb]

He is a sign of the times in baseball.

Then baseball deserves to go bankrupt.

[MarDav]

Fact don't play games...players do. Jeter is probably the best team leader in baseball. Makes all the clutch plays. You Red Sox fans are still bitter. Even after winning a championship? Amazing. (probably because Nomar wasn't better--was he!) You'd think that winnig a championship would wash away the cold New England chill from 84 years of wincing faces!

Derek Jeter is a special athlete...most knowlegdable baseball people recognize that (but stats-driven techno dweebs won't see that--'cause it's not written down in any book!)

or

A fish rots from the head down.

[LdSentinal]

Hank Aaron will be the home-run champion even if Bonds passes him.

Not a chance. The list -

Football
Auto racing
Olympics
Baseball & boxing

[A CA Guy]

He says he hasn't done them and to my knowledge nobody has done a test where he's come up positive, so he deserves his respect.

Prove your point somewhere outside of the rumor mill and I won't argue.

So far this is mostly like jealousy over him doing well when nobody likes him.

[yawningotter]

One more beef on Bonds. He stands right on top of the plate wearing all of that armor on his arm and then mouths off or charges the mound when he gets hit by a pitch, or even if someone dares to pitch too close to his majesty. If more pitchers had any guts they would knock him down anyway, especially now that his age is showing. Send in the spot starter/long releiver for the express purpose of throwing chin music.
