southsider2k5 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 So with his suspension, and maybe pending suspension, what is his MLB legacy right now? Is he still a Hall of Famer? One of the greatest hitters of all-time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 He has no prayer of making the HOF the way things are now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 He was a great player, and like Bonds, probably would have been an all time great HOFer without PEDs, but if this thing is accurate, he, IMO has zero shot at the HOF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was supposedly a physical freak back in high school. Which leaves me wondering whether him being a physical freak is an accident of genetics or a miracle of modern chemistry. High schoolers in the 90's had plenty of things available to them to turn them into athletic freaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one will ever consider anything he did worthy of discussion without first talking about PEDs and being too big a dumb oaf to stop.

Steve9347 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Let's remind ourselves of how much of a piece of s*** A-Rod was, is, and continues to be. Never used PEDs. Only used them once. Piece of s*** idiot meathead who has been on a consistent drip of steroids and PEDs as long as he's been in the bigs. He was caught in 2003 and continued to use them. He's caught again. He's an idiot and a disgrace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balfanman Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Several seasons ago, when Bonds cheated and broke the home run record, I remember people saying how they couldn't wait for Arod to break it so the record would be clean again. Yeah right. I could not believe that anyone could be so sure that Arod was clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah right. I could not believe that anyone could be so sure that Arod was clean. You can't be sure anyone is clean. Frank Thomas says he didn't take them, and he most likely didn't, but passed tests and saying you are not taking them is hardly proof. Bo Jackson sued and either won or received a settlement after being accused of using PEDs. That doesn't prove anything either. Liberace won 2 lawsuits he initiated when a couple of magazines said he was gay. Edited June 5, 2013 by Dick Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really have no excuse. I hope they do let these guys into the hall of fame but only as porcelain engravings in the urinals and toilets.

LittleHurt05 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 The knock on him was always that he wasn't clutch, then had that monstrous postseason in 2009 and should have forever been loved by Yankees fans. Oops, so much for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
