He should have had 3 MVPs.

Not a juicer.

The guy was 250 lbs at age 19. So when did he start the steroids? 14?

It is pretty interesting to look at pictures of some of the Steroid All Stars and Frank. If we lived in a world where PEDs didn't exist, is there any doubt that Frank is much bigger than them?



Ted Kluszewski was juicing too.

Frank Pujols and Ramirez are the best righties of my lifetime


Also, I think we might be looking a little too deep into Frank's psyche here. Maybe he was just kind of a jerk. They exist.

Miggy has to be in that list of best righties

He will be, but still Big Frank did something that nobody has ever done in the history of the game. And that is hit at .300+, 20+ HRs, AND have at least 100 H, RBI, R, BB in seven straight years. He did all of those in the eighth year, but only hit .265.

In that 7 year stretch he had a total of only 429 K in over 3600 AB, his OPS was over 1000 all but one time (.975 in '92). That is insanely good.

that's fine. I know that. But do you think he was or not? Ryne Sandberg could have been on roids too. But he wasn't. I know that because I don't have marbles for brains.

Were they the same guys that were pushing for steroid testing while they were all on steroids themselves?

I think A-Rod debunked the theory that steroid players have to be big.

only in the middle of the steroid era would a 6-4 230 lb shortstop not be considered "big."

I have no idea what these numbers mean, but any list that has lame ass players like Jim Thome and Fred McGriff with more points than Mickey Charles Mantle has to be flawed.

Frank Thomas was a good hitter, but he had the benefit of the designated hitter. If there had been a designated hitter in the 1950's and 1960's, Mickey Charles Mantle might have had nine hundred (900) to one thousand (1,000) home runs.

In the 7 year stretch I posted about, he started 885 games at 1B, 230 starts at DH. 101 of those DH games were in 1991. Its safe to say he was a first baseman during his prime.

If he had seen it coming he probably would have hung on and played into the 70s and ended up with a few more homers and a .275 average.

Do you know how many games Mantle started at DH?

One of them. Haven't seen him recently but he looked like him back in the day.

6'5" about 275 of solid muscle. Went into the Marines and trained guys in hand-to-hand combat from what I heard.

He didn't have a terrible arm. If I recall correctly he had a 90+ mph fastball.

I don't think he should be in the baseball hall of fame then.

I thought Thomas got an arm injury after a few years in the Majors that killed his ability to throw?

Not even Hawk talks about the best first baseman's arm he has ever seen. If there is one guy in the majors who you can get away with not being able to throw, its the first baseman.

And Jacque Jones and Juan Pierre
