Taking steroids weren't illegal in the United States of America?
I dont care what baseball said, as their testing policy has been an embarassment to fans since the beginning..But the MLB operates in the USA, where taking steroids without a prescrition is illegal

>has he EVER popped on a test?
>nope.
Of course he didnt, because, like I said before, the MLB's stance on testing for anything was embarassing....So far you've taught me nothin I already didnt know...

So do they give him the majority of the award? What exactly are you trying to say here? Where did I say that Barry wasnt a tremendous hitter? Where have I claimed that the majority of his results were not from sheer talent alone?

I'm not "ducking" it at all..I simply see it for what it is, A Red Herring...The issue at hand is America's supposed Vilification of Hank Aaron..I replied to this thread simply to point out, that in my lifetime of watching baseball and being around baseball fans, I have never heard anyone refute Aaron's place in history....I have never heard anyone say that it is still Ruth's record...Sorry to shatter whatever image that some of y'all cats on here seem to have, but for the most part, its not fuckin out there...
So, as opposed to falling for your red herring bs, i chose to ignore it and focus on the facts at hand

Honestly, I don't even know where to start with this...You know how sometimes you realize halfway through something that it just....isnt...worth your time?
I just hit that moment...Arguing with 12 year old kids isnt my idea of fun on a Thursday Night...I'm going to get drunk

We're through here...
You're an idiot
