Re: Baseball Cheaters (Past & Present)
I personally think Sammy juiced - Is aw him as rookie in Texas and his body took the same transformation as Bonds - skinny rail kid becomes the Incredible Hulk...
But as far as Sammy's corked bat - and in his defense - MLB scanned over 80 something GU bats of Sosa's in private collections, the HOF, museums, etc and found cork in NONE of them.
While (again) I don't doubt Sammy juiced, I do believe he grabbed the wrong bat that day - an 'exhibition bat' used for BP to put on a show for the early fans...
Just my .02

Re: Baseball Cheaters (Past & Present)
My personal opinion is that instance...I assume you are talking about the "pine tar HR"....is very subjective. Did he put too much pine tar to cheat...or did he just put too much pine tar. I don't think he cheated. I think he just got crazy with the pine tar. I don't recall there being a similar instance with him before that day or after.

19th century HOFer King Kelly would run from first to third if the umpire wasn't paying attention.

Ty Cobb, an incredible A-hole, nearly thrown out of baseball by Landis for throwing/betting on a game with Tris Speaker. Hell of a player though!

Re: Baseball Cheaters (Past & Present)
Hal Chase was first accused of throwing games in 1908. He was involved in baseball for quite a few more years after that as a player and manager in the National League.
With the Giants, he also managed to corrupt Heinie Zimmerman (who, truth be told, apparently just needed a gentle nudge to the dark side).Looking for Duane Kuiper home run baseballs

Re: Baseball Cheaters (Past & Present)
Chris,
Awesome post.
I just wish (and I'll refrain from naming names) there were a few more participants here to had the common sense you do to understand this simple relationship.....or should I say lack thereof. It's absolutely rediculous to "group" all the forms of minor infractions mentioned......in with steroid use.
Night and day.
