Pete Rose posthumously reinstated into baseball

[LingerLonger]

I think everyone that used steroids should be in though

Probably everyone from the 1960s up until the last decade used PEDs and they are all in the hall of fame. The first 300 game winner in MLB history was this dude who played in the late 1800s who used monkey testosterone to throw harder pitches. And he was put into the hall of fame despite literally endorsing using animal hormones in newspaper advertisements. They're all still on steroids now.

Yes, we’re in agreement

and you better be if you're playing in any sort of major league sport

 

[Phish]

and you better be if you're playing in any sort of major league sport

Except the UFC. Theyre all clean now. Everyone is above board since the USADA era.

Yeah being a dickhead piece of shit doesn’t take away your achievements. If I spit in someones face tomorrow they’d better not take away my award for fitting the most marshmallows in my mouth.

I want you removed from competitive marshmallow eating for disparaging Pete Rose.

 

[GialloGlove]

He plays a BC Rich, dont mess with him

Oh shit, those things are pointy. That's fucking rockstar as hell.

 

[BonnieMcFarlaneMe2]

that's not a positve test though, and Barry Bonds only crime was being a dick to the (((reporters)))

Bonds should be in the HOF


EDIT: i realize the above is a bit of a peacock but as I get older I get a feeling that the steroid witchhunt was just a roundabout way for nerdy sports reporters (who were butt hurt by bonds) to get back at Barry

His head got bigger when he started hitting more homeruns after 20 years in the MLB. https://www.highheatstats.com/2012/02/how-barry-bonds-head-changed-from-1987-to-2007/

His head got bigger

While true, he still never tested positive

 

[BakersfieldChimp]

While true, he still never tested positive

He did in 2000, according to federal prosecutors.

Bonds also stopped playing in 2007 and the first policy that resembles what we have now was implemented in 2005. Bonds, in his final three years (05-07), averaged fewer than 20 home runs.

He was absolutely juiced and should be in the hall of fame.

federal prosecutors.

eww

 

[EraGodless]

Anyone who thinks that the all time hit leader of the MLB shouldn’t be in the Hall of Fame can go screw. Steroid guys aren’t in for good reason.

David Ortiz, Jeff Bagwell, Craig Biggio, Pudge Rodriguez and Mike Piazza are all in the HOF-- all juiced to the gills.

okay okay, he was really nice to childhood me when I tried to get him to autograph a card, as a child.

 

[Turd Glider]

Bonds didn’t juice. He worked out and trained so hard that his head just turned into a fucking watermelon.

 

[Turd Glider]

Pete rose was a helluva ball player but fuck man, this guinea desecrated the game and for that, fuck u

monkey testosterone

Say what you want about steroids, they do not make the ball hit the bat.

I played baseball my whole life and can tell you hitting a pitch that's over 85 mph is pretty difficult. Steroids didn't help Bonds hit home runs. Even as a skinny guy he was hitting them, and at distance. If anything, the steroids he allegedly took only helped the ball go further.

 

[BakersfieldChimp]

the steroids he allegedly took only helped the ball go further.

Which is a big part of hitting home runs.

 

[aRTie02150]

Which is a big part of hitting home runs.

As I said, he was already hitting home runs. Adding another 30 feet on his distance isn't much when he was already hitting 400 foot home runs when he was skinny.

I've always heard this take when it comes to Bonds and it's, and I say this with peace and love, retarded.

The man was a top 10 (maybe 5) all time player when he was 180 lbs, guaranteed 1st ballot hall of fame type player. He got bigger for a reason, with or without steroids. Warning track outs are now 5 rows deep. All of his most productive years, home run wise, are him from ages 35-40 when most players are well into a big decline. My cousin played minor league ball when steroids were becoming a thing. He said the biggest users were guys hoping to be relief pitchers in the big leagues because it helped with recovery more than anything. Bonds, one of the best of all time, completely changed his body and it wasn't for looks; it was for performance.
