642 to 563 the straw that stirs the drink couldn't take it. now this begs the question was reggie clean?
-
Reggie must have been clean if he was complaining. Pretty sure if he was dirty he would have kept his mouth shut.
-
All these old time players who preach about the old days are full of shit.
They're pro athletes - all cut from the same ultra competitive mold in their desire to excel and gain an edge. If available, I'm positive you'd see usage statistics that compare to what we've seen at its height.

guys weren't tested back than who knows . he did own a gold's gym so ????????? reggie was up and down never had 30 home runs in back to back years?????

That guy A-Rod trains in my gym pretty ofter...even tho I had no idea about who he is... LOL!
And sometimes he gave 25cent tips to the guy at the smoothie bar... Fucker... LOL!

ONe of the most interesting comments Pete Rose had made about his playing years in the 70's, was that he said he himself didn't take steroids. Which means that other people were in that time frame. Yet no reporter ever follows up about steroid use in the 70's. I'd bet my house that Reggie did. A person could take steroids, never weight train but gain some bat speed by swinging a weighted bat. Some of the big time home run hitters in the 60's and 70's used 36 ounce bats. That's a heavy fukcing bat. Jim Rice used at bat that heavy.

guy only made 300 million in baseball salaries alone with another 150 million still owed him even though he is on a steady decline. emdorsements were minimal because he was an asshole most of his career.

I actually have an A-Rod jersey. Don't wear it.
I usually wear my Jeter, Tex, or Ruth jersey when at the stadium.

allen had power to spare as seen on an early card

Reginald Martinez ... ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Reggie Jackson can say what he wants , he played the game and did it at a high level, so he can give his opinion , and the yankees also have the right to fire him from his Office job
Greatest of all time

Went to game 4 of the 99 WS. After the Yankees won, were met up with a friend who had recently bid and won 30 grand to buy Ruth's flask at the Barry Halpern auction. She got it filled at the bar with JD and we all did shots from it to celebrate.

Need to define "clean". Very few were clean then, very few are clean now. Beginning in 2013 the MLB will be testing for HGH and then its really going to suck. Baseball is by far my favorite sport but with high dollar contracts what do they expect? Right now we have the #1 high school player/catcher in the country, first round top 10 draft pick for 2013 and we have this conversation everyday. IMO, this is on the S&C coaches to start training baseball players like athletes instead of babying them. Want to get rid of drugs in the MLB, train them like the power athletes they are.

Yes but don't you agree that guys like Ruth and Ted William's stats look that much more impressive these days? They couldn't have been on anything but booze and hookers.

babe ruth played in all white league,easy to get those kinda stats playin in a league like that.

Babe Ruth had the widest nose I have ever seen on a supposed "white man" He had to of been mixed with something.

babe ruth's nickname in the clubhouse was NiggerLips

Not with the oversized ballparks, and crappier balls and bats they had to play with. Not always flying to every game - you rode a bus a lot. Fewer games in the season. No strength and conditioning. No drugs to heal injuries. People died younger, smoked and drank, got sick a lot more. But then food was better for you then...
Of course, Ruth and the Splinter didn't face middle relievers and closers. And fielders weren't sporting retarded sized gloves like they do today. And there were no black players, so the pool was shallower. But then, there were fewer teams, so the talent that was there was more concentrated, making it more likely to face a strong ballplayer.
Everything evens out, and if you're a fan of sabermetrics, you see that when you normalize for a lot of the aforementioned playing issues, Ruth and Williams and Foxx and Gehrig still enjoyed amongst the top 10 seasons ever played by any ball player past or present (Bonds is this era's "Ruth"). In today's game, Ruth and Williams would still be greats. The greatest today? Quite likely, but not 100% guaranteed.
Nah Bond's is a fraud. Don't get me wrong, Bonds was still a great player, but he would have been at best a 30/30 guy. Add steroids into the mix, and you are talking 50, 60, 70+ HR a year. Inflated bullshit numbers. Look at Brady Anderson for example. The leadoff hitter for the Orioles just happened to belt out 50+ HR one year. Tell me that fucker wasn't juiced to the gills.

This was in the golden era of newspapers in New York when home run balls were scrutinized heavily by muliple reporters and the verification of their lengths are legit. Babe Ruth is without a doubt one of the hardest hitters of all time. Maybe the hardest even to this day? You can't fake or down play multiple 500+ feet home runs.
-

No, because teams didn't utilize the bullpen the way they do in the modern era. In those days, if a pitcher didn't "have it" on a particular outing, they still pitched the game. Williams and Ruth got to face them 4-5 times that day. Today, the face a variety of specialists who have been training for it since they were 8.
That's one of the main reasons outside a ton of other variables why I don't think we can accurately compare the eras. One way would be to measure the variance of a player's numbers to the league mean at the time and do that for each era, but, even then what's the point. I think Ruth and Williams were incredible, but I don't find it any more impressive than what the elite of the sport do today.

Bonds isn't a fraud, he just happened to be better than anyone else during that part of the roid era. So many others were juiced beyond belief, but nobody even scratched what he was doing. His 2001, 2002, and 2004 years defy belief, roided or not.

That photo is more of a shout out to the Hierarchy/Iluminati than it is about A-rod loving himself. Although he is a douche.
-
I believe ARod did take steroids and they hurt him bad. I forget the exact year, but I think it was his first year on the Yankees he sucked big time. The next year he lost 30 pounds, and it looked to be all mass, and he took off again. The steroids did nothing but add mass to him which slowed his bat speed big time. The scouting report on him that year was feed him fastballs cuz he cant catch up.

A-rod hangs out with bodybuilder type chicks and shit. The dude is knee deep in the latest and greatest ways to beat drug testing. Big Papi of the Red Sox is the same.

lmao manny ramirez is the same way. hes so cheap he was tryin to play golf at the INDIAN WELLS GOLF RESORT in indian wells california , he asked to be comped on his round ( my buddy works the pro shop ) and my buddy said he couldnt comp him. so he said this is bullshit he isnt paying and stormed off. His agent contacted the pro shop and paid for it on his credit card and called manny and told him they comped it. long story short his agent payed and told my buddy to tell manny they were gonna comp it after all what a piece of shit spoiled turd this is america you pay for golf, who gives a rats ass if your manny ramirez geez!!!

Arod was juiced to the gills when he was in the Rangers he only stopped because they caught him. Look at his numbers ever since.

quick name me 5 good black pitchers playing now in this overexpanded baseball we have now. ???

Not really - his 2005 and 2007 were phenomenal, and his 2009 playoffs might have been the best performance by a single player ever.
The main driver behind his decline is his age.

Everyone gets lucky given enough chances. He usually is all-time bad in the playoffs.

Wrong again, you're just falling for the media myth. In baseball, you don't get lucky as the sample size increases - you gravitate toward your career norms.
He has a career .884 OPS in the playoffs.

I believe it. It's a shame how far Manny has fallen. One of the best pure hitters to ever play the game.

Naw they don't stop. He was young and didn't have a care in the world when he was putting up big numbers. There was no testing so these guys could do anything they wanted. Now its in his head. He's looking over his shoulder every day.I bet every time he injects himself with something, he's wondering in the Doc that sold him the stuff really put Test in it or something else that stays in the system for a long time like Deca or something. Didn't you see the pictures with The General hanging out with A-rod? All these drug addicts talk about after sex is drugs. If A-rRod was clean, he would stay far away from sluts like The General.
-

I don't get this - Deca stays in the system longer than most stuff.

good catch. I met to say the Doc put Deca in instead of a quick acting test or something.

heard that frank home run baker used a 52 oz bat :o
