Rewatching Rookie of the Year and honestly, the most unbelievable part isn’t a kid throwing 100 mph after breaking his arm.
It isn’t even him striking out Bobby Bonilla and Barry Bonds
It’s the fact 3 12 year olds rode the L thru Chicago to Wrigley field all by themselves.
@DoctorCockedHer@BBGreatMoments The point of the post was the Hall of Fame being tainted without him.
I’ll give it to you Hank Aaron is a great argument for most dominant hitter as well. Which is why he was a first ballot HOFer.
That’s irrelevant. If your only argument is Hank Aaron, one of if not the best hitter in history, than I believe Bonds belongs in the Hall.
If your reasoning for keeping him out is PED use, which he never admitted by the way. (Although, yeah, he used them) then I also think it’s worth noting Hank Aaron as well as most the league during his tenure took “greenies” (amphetamines) and even has openly admitted to it.
Why does one PED taint the entire athlete’s legacy while another PED is totally forgotten?
@DoctorCockedHer@BBGreatMoments The MLB looked the other way while a huge portion of the league juiced because revenue was skyrocketing. They don’t get to play the high road now. Steroids were a part of baseball for a period of time, you can’t pretend that period didn’t exist.
I didn’t say he was the best hitter. There are a few I’d put above Bonds. But teams were scared of Bonds; dominated.
Hank is up there too, amazing ball player, one of the best to ever do it.
He was a First Ballot HOFer. You have him and Bonds in the same convo, proving Bonds belongs in the Hall as well.
@DoctorCockedHer@BBGreatMoments You went on a 3-post tangent about how 1 single player is arguably better than Bonds.
Further proving my point that Bonds belongs in the Hall of Fame.
