I don't care about the roids one bit I care about what I see.
Bonds, Clemens, and A-Rod were some of the best players to ever play the game of baseball roids or not.

The Clemens Piazza thing was overblown. Plus Piazza was coke head his entire career. As a SP Clemens was a beast for over 20 seasons. No proof of what you accused Piazza of being.
Overblown? Clemens hit Piazza in the head, and not too long after that he threw a bat in the path where Piazza was running.

For pitchers I'm saying Clemens. Dude was a beast his entire career. He would take the ball and throw it at you as hard as he could and just say FU hit it. Clemens was a 'roid fueled headhunter. Piazza should've return that bat barrel to Clemens where the sun don't shine...splintered side up. As you know, had that happened in the NYC sandlots more likely than not there would have been a dustup. |

I watched the Yogi Berra documentary, "It Ain't Over" the other night and when baseball celebrated the 4 greatest living players by fan vote in 2015, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Johnny Bench and Sandy Koufax were chosen. Yogi's granddaughter was with him that night and contended that Yogi should have been there. I agree, Koufax had five good seasons and I don't think I need to go over Berra's baseball achievements, so there really shouldn't be any argument. I'll have to think about who it is now. Not even a debate. JLok at the record of MVP votes from 1950 to 1956. And then look at who won the World Series. Yogi was seriously snubbed in 2015. |

I personalty know someone that was flight attendant during Piazza's playing career that said they have repeatedly seen him coked out on flights. |

Like I said I've never really seen a lot of Bonds playing the field to judge him all time. As Yankee Fans we see Judge walked repeatedly because we have no 4th or 5th batter.
At the end of the game if the bases were loaded they would walk Bonds and give up a run instead of pitch to him. That is just incredible.

I can't talk about the pre-70s but I know 2 groups of unsung OF are
Bonds, Bonilla, and Van Slyke.
They only played 3 season but Beltran, Damon, and Dye.

It begins and ends with the one player I wish had been a Yankee: Von Hayes.
