Sammy Sosa . . . HOF?

Re: Sammy Sosa . . . HOF?
Let 'em all in. Once the HOF voted Ortiz, Pudge, and Piazza in, they have no reason to keep any other roid users out. Sosa, Bonds, McGwire, Palmeiro, Clemens, etc. should all be admitted and apologized to by MLB for being unfair to them for all these years.

It is a disgrace only that he got in before Bonds. After all Bonds is the greatest hitter of his generation.

Re: Sammy Sosa . . . HOF?
I’m still muffed. Face first. Nose deep.
I’m a pretty good ball player. Other than strength thus power, how do steroids help hit a major leagues pitch.
How does it help with contact rate. Exit velocity. Barrel rate. Pitch recognition. I still don’t see the connection.
Seems only thing measured is- more homeruns. Not doubles, or singles, just the homeruns.
You would think if they hit harder and further, more line drives would rip off defenses gloves; pop ups to hit roofs, tape measure home runs.
My thoughts are on the actual batted balls.

Re: Sammy Sosa . . . HOF?
it's about the muscle twitch.. allows batters to wait longer and recognize pitches better (adderal as well). there's a reason you couldn't get a pitch by Bonds after he started juicingsikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑01 Dec 2025 07:50 am I’m still muffed. Face first. Nose deep.

Re: Sammy Sosa . . . HOF?
Thanx. I also thought Bonds developed a hitting window so tight that contributed to his success plus the huge amount of natural walks. You right. In order to master such a tight space, one must have incredible pitch recognition and immediate location skills.moose-and-squirrel wrote: ↑01 Dec 2025 09:14 amit's about the muscle twitch.. allows batters to wait longer and recognize pitches better (adderal as well). there's a reason you couldn't get a pitch by Bonds after he started juicingsikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑01 Dec 2025 07:50 am I’m still muffed.

Re: Sammy Sosa . . . HOF?
If Im not mistaken McGwire said it allowed him to "recover" quicker staying strong. He had some injuries early in his career and he and Canseco got on the road train to take a ride on the Reading .sikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑01 Dec 2025 07:50 am I’m still muffed. Face first. Nose deep.

McGwire is an example of a guy whose career might have been over if it weren't for PEDs.11WSChamps wrote: ↑01 Dec 2025 10:28 amIf Im not mistaken McGwire said it allowed him to "recover" quicker staying strong.

Time has passed and they deserve their due. Yes, that means Bonds, Clemons and others.
They made the game exciting when the game needed it.

Re: Sammy Sosa . . . HOF?
They got their due and plenty of money when they cheated to get it.
If they cared about a legacy they should have thought of that before juicing.
