We could get the Jesse Ventura mult to chime in, but I kinda feel like if you can generate a hall of fame career by cheating , you deserve to be in just on that

In re Tommy's Bob Costas post, Costas can get a bit overwrought sometimes, but I think the take he laid out above is a good one. Ever since MLB did a "crackdown" on steroids, we haven't seen that suspicious second peak in your mid to late 30's that guys were experiencing in the late 90's and early 00's. All that being said, two guys who enjoyed such a suspicious second peak (Bonds and Clemens) were transcendtly great and, by all rights, should be in the Hall of Fame. There's just a lot of B and B+ guys who experienced the same thing who really aren't great players.

Guys are just good for an extended period of time now.

Congrats Judge. Just a great hitter, good to see him do it.

Aaron Judge 6-7, 282lb

Lifting is simply more difficult for the tall guy. Tall lifters have to do more work with the barbell. There is a big difference between a 150cm guy benching 100kg and a 195cm guy doing the exact same thing. When you have long arms, the distance traveled by the bar could sometimes be double. Unless...

Roger Maris 6-0, 197lb

OK, so you are arguing for the validity of segregation-era records.


Of course I am.

You're arguing for the innate superiority of black players. Whether you understand that's what you're doing or not.

If there were two high schools, one with 500 students and one with 50 and you told me that an inordinate number good players were in the smaller school, I'd ask you to explain your basis for that belief.


Your statements above are utterly bizarre whether you understand that fact or not. Chinese musicians are becoming increasingly prominent in the world of classical music--and they are doing so at the expense of musicians of European ancestry. Is that because Chinese musicians are somehow genetically superior to musicians of European descent? Or is it because of social factors, including the massive investment in music conservatories made by the Chinese government, investments that come in the wake of reciprocal cutbacks to support for the performing arts in the U.S and Europe?. I'd say its the latter not the former. In the case of baseball, you immediately assume that the disproportionate success of blacks in the major leagues following the end of segregation must be explained by an argument based on racial determinism. Such an assumption reveals the reductiveness of your thinking on this issue since you never bother to consider how social factors such as segregation impacted black economic prospects, particularly by rendering professional baseball as a more appealing career pursuit for blacks than it was for most whites.

I should also note that you scoff at the idea that the arbitrary exclusion of 10% of a population from a competition could possibly call into question the results of that competition. Could you imagine what your response would be if 10% of eligible voters--all Trump supporters--were arbitrarily prevented from voting in the next presidential election?


There's so many idiotic strawmen and piss poor analogies above, I'm not even going to bother responding to them. Are you actively trying to destroy your reputation as the Board Intellectual?


What a convincing argument. Are you still confined to a wheelchair or whatever? You need some exercise. It'll help with your mental haze.
