As a Cards fan I always respected this guy and his talent as a ball player. Those Cards Astros 04 & 05 series were incredible. Hope he’s enjoying life after baseball.
Great interview! I agree with Baggy that the 2004 Astros were better than 2005: Beltran was a monster that postseason & Lidge did not get pawned by Albert Pujols yet.
I meet Andy Benes when The Braves were in Atlanta Fulton County Stadium. he was sitting out in front of the Hotel we were staying in. I walk by him and said man you pitch a fine games.But your bullpen let you down.He talk with my wife and I for quit a while. He was impress I knew who he was out of uniform. I told him that while I am a Atlanta Braves Fan...I was also a Baseball fan. He asked if I had a baseball or something I wanted sign. I had no pen no nothing. I told him...no worries..just him speaking to me for a few minutes was more than enough.
His career numbers are great , but if not for the injuries he received while playing, especially being hit by pitches (which were probably the worst.) they would’ve been without a doubt some of the best stats of all time.
The dude that brought PEDs to the Astros. The 90's Astros were considered a hotbed for steroids at that time, this is published in the Mitchell Report.
@@williamditsworth7239 Can't talk about that, or the Red Sox watch cheating, or the all the other teams stealing signs including the Dodgers and Nationals, or every damn pitcher in the league gluing their damn hands to the ball.
Like he said there is a fine line between having evidence and just guessing McCracken you have to be a liberal meth head the way you look just because your a tweaker and look like a walking skeleton doesn't mean all of us do
Wow, you extremely ignorant kid. Back before you were born Andro was sold Legally and MLB hadn't ruled on it. It's not a steroid and it didn't come in a syringe, donkey 🐴
Check his minor league stats. Go ahead. Check them. Check the HRs. Please. Be my guest. Then after you do tell me he wasn't on steroids. I dare you. Tell me he wasn't on steroids. Please.
Even if he was on roids, he still stole thirty bases and tons of just hits, and he didn't even break 500 homeruns (he probably would have If his shoulder was ok).
@@danacoleman4007 let’s see. Here’s a guy who was one of the best players in a steroid sport, playing in the steroid era, with a steroid physique but ,”hE dIdN’t uSe sTeRroIDs”!?!?!? And his wife/girlfriend ratted him out anyway. Why are you so stupid?
One of my favorite baseball idols along with Biggio, Suzuki, Jim Edmonds, Rickey Henderson, Paul Molitor, Robin Yount.

Jeff Bagwell is my all time favorite player he's such a talent and was super loyal to his team. An absolute legend..
Great ball player. Extremely underated. He could do it all and do it well. Played the game the right way. Great leader and teammate.

Im a Sox fan and im so glad we won in 2005 becuz that Astros team was great esp Bagwell what a hitter
Ya you had to be happy considering the Sox have been absolute garbage since then 15 years of the white sucks
I was one of those kids in houston that copied that stance. But it’s ok I was bad anyways still felt cool to stand like Jeff bagwell

Bagwell, Biggio,, bell, camaniti... those was the years

🙄 If you don't know the facts. Then you need to STFU.

Androstenedione was less effective at raising testosterone than sunlight 😂
