    I'll take this to my grave. If Bud Selig is enshrined in the MLB HOF, ALL of those legendary cheaters should be in, as well. They should have gone in before him, as a matter of fact. That man covered it up. He knew what exactly was going on.

      @@JustLikeYou. That is a fair point. I did some research and while that is in fact 'the rule', they have let in (at least) 1 player who didn't meet that requirement. For that reason I'd say it seems more like guidance and a suggestion than a rule. Addie Joss played for 9 seasons, got sick, died, and was put into the hall of fame. If someone like Albert Pujols only played for like 7 seasons and died or was forced to retire for whatever reason, he'd probably get elected into the hall as well, so to say Bonds wouldn't get in just based off that years rule is a bit silly. I do think context has a lot to do with it. If you retire simply cause you're bored, there probably wouldn't be an exception. If you retired because of a health reason or death, then I'm pretty sure they'd strongly consider an exception if you were good enough to warrant it.

    The biggest difference between MLB and other sports on this is that **not** everyone was doing it. There are some sports where it’s just assumed everyone’s doping: bodybuilding, any fighting/wrestling/martial arts etc, cycling, sprinting, probably football. In baseball it was a genuine uneven playing field and you saw players have massive jumps past natural or mostly-natural peers. That made it weird and different.

    As a St Louis Cardinals fan, TILL THIS DAY, I am so damn conflicted about the Home Run race in '98. It almost single handedly saved baseball from that slump. But it absolutely belittled the true season record that was gotten without help.

    • @hispanicservices2589
      @hispanicservices2589 Місяць тому

      If by gotten without help you mean it Roger Marris had an 8 extra regular season games to hit 1 more home run and he actually played/appeared in 10 more than Ruth (161 to 151), then yes, the record was 'gotten without help' lol. (To be fair the Plate appearances were similar Ruth 691, Maris 698).
      I don't know, there's always arguments for and against everything. Clearly Ruth was ahead of his time with his approach at the plate, but it's also pretty obvious he was facing inferior competition compared to todays MLB. It's really difficult to compare his and other dinosaurs numbers to the modern game. The only person who has compared to or passed those numbers is Bonds for that 4 year stretch of 01-04, otherwise basically no one in the modern era sniffs 1.200 OPS not named Ted Williams or the 1 outlier seasons by Frank Thomas and Mark McGwire. I don't count Juan Sotos ~47 game season in 2020.
      Plus baseball has mostly be founded on cheating and trying to get ahead, stealing signs (cough 2017 astros), spitballs, scuffing baseballs, pinetar on gloves for more tack on the ball, amphetamines, etc. So yeah idk. Steroids were just another level to it, but to act like most players were clean is a bit of a joke.
      I wish they'd just bring steroids back, the game is so stat driven now its boring af.

    Lasik eye surgery, prescription glasses, or Tommy John for that matter are all more performance enhancing in the game of baseball than any anabolic….PERIOD. People are down right ignorant to what anabolics do and don’t do for a ball player. This vid proves that.

    Funny how they promoted Bonds so hard when he was juiced and going for records. I remember they would always change the game coverage so you could watch Bonds at bat. They knew. It was the most well known secret, even to the fans. I think it's atrocious that they used Bonds and then threw him under the buss when it was convenient.

    Why does Pedro always get left out? The dude was on absolute fire 1997-2007 coincidentally the roid era. Before 1997 he had a 3.39 ERA and a 3.41 FIP. Once they cracked down on testing in 2004 he had a 3.87 ERA and a 3.69 FIP. During his insane run though he had a 2.20 ERA and a 2.26 FIP. Between the year of the roid era and last year of the roid era his stats his ERAs nearly doubled. Just seems very suspicious that his insane years match perfectly with the steroid era.

    There should be no asterisk or ban on the steroid era players from the hall of fame. Everyone in mlb knew what was going on. These guys single handily saved baseball from extinction. They need to be celebrated just the same as any other player. I’d also argue that mlb owes these guys a massive debt that can never be repaid.

    Im one of the few who think he started back in the early 90s, his 20 lbs of muscle added in the '93 offseason was insane, but dude's still on a hall of fame path before that even.
    Unfortunate what the steroid era did to countless legends. Need a select place in the hall for them all still, headlined by Bonds
