Guest hotsoxchick1 Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 lol from no it wasnt to your sure there were a few more????? there were more... If you re read my post you will see i said "star" and "documented". There is only one star who was documented as being drunk on the field. ONE. That doesnt mean there wasnt more, but our opinions add up to nothing. The fact is ONE hof player in the history of baseball is known to have played most of his career drunk. I dont see how that guy should be seen as "better" than Sosa as a person.......or a legend. Was he a better baseball player? Absolutely...... and again i tell you to read up .. there are a few more STARS DOCUMENTED you failed to mention...... Was this from the same book that told us that KW was being fired any day now....? :finger :finger :finger ....lol nope.. its from the book that calls you a dumbass for not knowing your baseball history........

YASNY Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 When youre insinuating that Sosa shouldnt dare be mentioned in the same breath because of corking? Yes sir.... "Corking" has nothing to do with my statement that Sosa should not be mentioned in the same breath as Mantle. Absolutely nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan99 Posted September 26, 2003 Author Share Posted September 26, 2003 I dont see how that guy should be seen as "better" than Sosa as a person.......or a legend. Was he a better baseball player? Absolutely...... I agree completely. I actually remember telling me a story about when he was a kid. The Yankees were in town so my dad and a few of his friends decided to go autograph hunting. When Mantle saw them he told them to get the hell out of there. Roger Maris on the other hand, saw them and talked with them and gave them each his autograph (my dad still has it). After hearing this I always found it funny that Mantle was so idolized by Yankee fans while Maris was so hated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bmr31 Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 ACtually believe it or not, Maris was hated because he DARED to break the record and out do the great MICK and Babe.........true story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bmr31 Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 Yeah, I actually new that. I still find it ironic though. Well think of it this way. IF kobe came in at the end of the bulls title era and won the scoring title over MJ and was on the same team, would all bulls fans accept him? I would but im not sure all of them would......or even most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would but im not sure all of them would......or even most. espically if he came his way out of a little hick town and was a nobody and rose to be a somebody in the matter of a season......fans are a funny thing......they either love ya or hate ya no matter what you do....... see roman on frank for an example.......

But he is arrogant and I really have never liked his attitude. I always found him to be very phony and it says something when none of your teammates like you.

bjmarte Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 You are all missing the point. It's not a matter of who did what or who deserves it more. In fourty years from now nobody is going remember Mantle but there will be plently of people who remember Sosa. You are completely underestimating the ability of Cub fans, and baseball fans in general, to worship players who don't deserve it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
