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

    garyt1957 was it illegal/against the rules of baseball, at the time? That's my feeling. They counted then and they count now. They need to shitcan non baseball people voting for the HOF, imo. Who the hell doesn't think Ken Griffey Jr. is a 1st ballot HOFer? Some dipshit writer did.

        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.

        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

              They broke the law and cheated. Easy call.

                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.

                  Andro was otc. Why wasn't anybody arrested, when tests were failed, if illegal by law? I'm asking.

                      I agree about andro, IF that's all McGwire used. He had that stuff on open display in his locker. You could buy it at GNC. Because he didn't scream it at the top of his lungs I have to assume more was involved.
                      As for why no one was arrested, I assume no one wanted to bother. I mean baseball knew what was going on and looked the other way.

                        Par4QC Realizing I have tomorrow off due to gvt. holiday. Gonna play 18.

                        Problem is a shitload of other people are off as well.

                          I had to look on the calendar to see what holiday it was. Dang, Columbus day. The "Woke" haven't gotten rid of Chris yet? 🤨

                              Rickochet The "Woke" haven't gotten rid of Chris yet?

                              If they get rid of Chris, the rest of us Italians might be in trouble......

                                I thought this was ironic. I opened the post query about TA Atomics Irons and the ad placement right below is a photo of Miura blades 🙂.
