Woo hoo!! #7!!
I agree.... #7
Didn't realize Sosa had that big 3 year run. Barry Bonds had never hit more than 49 HR's in a season. He got jealous after the Sosa/ McGuire party and went on the Cream, boom 73 HR's a 24 HR increase!!! Can't tell me the roids didn't help. Should it count? I don't really care, probably needs an asterisk
LBlack14 was it illegal/against the rules of baseball,
It was illegal, period by law. I'm sure baseball rules don't ban murder. Baseball is complicit though. They loved the Sosa/McGuire hoopla and didn't do anything about it.
LBlack14 Who the hell doesn't think Ken Griffey Jr. is a 1st ballot HOFer? Some dipshit writer did.
That's some stupid old tradition that nobody goes in unanimously. I think somebody finally did get in unanimously though, was it Rivera? Mantle, Mays, nobody had gotten in unanimously before
garyt1957 73 HR's a 24 HR increase!!!
62 is a 23 HR increase. In only 9 more AB. Plus, he's coming off a year where he only played a handful of games.
May we 'fill in the blanks'?
I really don't care, baseball has sucked since the '60s. But, it was exciting, watching/hearing about Maris & Mantle at the time. Not so much now, with these guys.
Realizing I have tomorrow off due to gvt. holiday. Gonna play 18.
