Worth a repost for all who believe the steroid talk about Bonds/ He was 1 of a kind before the roid talk and i'm not so blind as to say he didn't use roids later in his career but knowing his personality it was only to level the playing field when compared to McGwiire, Sosa and the likes
@historigins Although this would never happen, it’s even less likely today with the white man looking to erase the memory of all things red man. We are fighting this battle in our local school district.
@NotHankDave It’s for laughs really not trying to be mean
🤣
Also take it as a testament that someone is actually reading your posts and caring to remember them
@NotHankDave@Jaberuski lol I’m with you. I have hundreds of albums from this era. Only 9 on the list. Either I have a lot of bad albums or this list is broken.
Does anyone remember this amazing story? On July 2, 1982, a truck driver from California flew 16,000 feet into the sky in a lawn chair. Larry Walters, 33, from San Pedro, had dreamed of flying his whole life. He bought 42 eight-foot helium weather balloons, tied them to a regular Sears lawn chair, strapped on a parachute, packed a BB gun to pop balloons to descend, a CB radio, sandwiches, and a six-pack of beer.
He expected to float a few hundred feet above his backyard. He cut the rope and shot up like a rocket — to 16,000 feet. He drifted directly into the main approach path for LAX. Two airline pilots radioed the tower: they had just passed a man in a lawn chair holding a gun at 16,000 feet. For 45 minutes, he floated over Los Angeles, freezing cold, too scared to shoot balloons because he might fall. Finally, he started popping balloons one by one and slowly descended.
He landed tangled in power lines in Long Beach, California, causing a blackout. When police arrested him, they asked why he did it. He said, "A man can't just sit around." The FAA fined him $4,000. He became a national folk hero — Lawnchair Larry — and inspired the movie Up.
@KodyDuncanPGH@DevineGospel 100% correct. The Pirates collapse was mostly offense and starting pitching. Adding Miller (much like adding Weaver, etc) is a non-factor.
@DevineGospel I gotta speak up on Kody’s behalf. His post can be summed up as “dont expect a mob team to pay for Miller in the same fashion that SD did.”
And Kody was 100% correct.
The whole discussion of PIT & SD records is akin to a math word problem w extra info. A Distraction.
@TiredActor lol this makes me think of Barney in HIMYM when he “just woke up and ran a marathon” then two days later he was found doubled over on the subway 🤣🤣
@thetomten1@LGMicahBeckwith Ironic considering that, via the above post, @thetomten1 is too, participating in a culture war for willfully ignorant folks while their own citizens in Gary suffer.
Peak beta loser behavior.
