Re: Ryan Braun Suspension, does it effect how you feel about collection him?
I have no doubts. My lone year of college ball in 97 opened my eyes to steroids in baseball. I would say 85% of us used. I know it was just college, JuCo at that, but steroids and PEDs trickle down from the top.
Make no mistake, you still have to have unbelievable talent. Just look at the steroid twins Jose and Ozzie Canseco. Ozzie couldn't hit a beachball if you pitched it to him.
I say let them all in. For the most part I believe the playing field was level. Whether it was Clemens pitching to Brady Anderson or Barry Bonds. You still have to see and hit.
Hell, you can get an edge by shopping at GNC. Then and now the players are taking something. PEDs, NO Xplode, Aminos, Pre-Workout drugs, etc. The players are all synthetic
I say enjoy the moments memories, and rarities of your collections. Stop the "dude" worship. They put their pants on just like you and me. Their pants are just more expensive

Nick , don't sweat it. You have a great house and great family. You take care of them and have the hobby that we all here enjoy. Don't let people bring you down.

Nick, I think you got fleeced. You backed a guy on a team you support who had great success. He was an MVP. He was an All Star. Not since Robin Yount could you back such a seemingly epic Brewer.
These recent developments contradict the character of the player you collected. If people give you grief, ignore them. How easy it is to chastise a fan of fallen star who last year was our hero.

Re: Ryan Braun Suspension, does it effect how you feel about collection him?
Ahh... Misery loves company!
I too was "all in" on Braun... the weird thing is that he seemed "all in" on Milwaukee. The story is just weird!
Nick you have an awesome collection. You have the crown jewel of all Braun gamers (NLCS game 6) - I wouldn't sell it either.
As for all the comments left - I never understood why people need to comment on what another person buys - it's not like you are sending a portion of the bill to them.
This is my first post on GUU. I have been watching from a far. Just wanted to say I have enjoyed looking at everyone's collections. Great stuff!
