September 26, 200322 yr lol from no it wasnt to your sure there were a few more????? there were more... If you re read my post you will see i said "star" and "documented". There is only one star who was documented as being drunk on the field. ONE. That doesnt mean there wasnt more, but our opinions add up to nothing. The fact is ONE hof player in the history of baseball is known to have played most of his career drunk. I dont see how that guy should be seen as "better" than Sosa as a person.......or a legend. Was he a better baseball player? Absolutely...... and again i tell you to read up .. there are a few more STARS DOCUMENTED you failed to mention...... Was this from the same book that told us that KW was being fired any day now....? :finger :finger :finger ....lol nope.. its from the book that calls you a dumbass for not knowing your baseball history........

Sorry, I guess I didnt look in the fairy tale section of major league history. I'll make sure I check that section next time.

Okay i found those type of books...................i dont see any pictures of KW with a foot in his ass though?
September 26, 200322 yr When youre insinuating that Sosa shouldnt dare be mentioned in the same breath because of corking? Yes sir.... "Corking" has nothing to do with my statement that Sosa should not be mentioned in the same breath as Mantle. Absolutely nothing.

September 26, 200322 yr Author I dont see how that guy should be seen as "better" than Sosa as a person.......or a legend. Was he a better baseball player? Absolutely...... I agree completely. I actually remember telling me a story about when he was a kid. The Yankees were in town so my dad and a few of his friends decided to go autograph hunting. When Mantle saw them he told them to get the hell out of there. Roger Maris on the other hand, saw them and talked with them and gave them each his autograph (my dad still has it). After hearing this I always found it funny that Mantle was so idolized by Yankee fans while Maris was so hated.

I forgot the movie that documented that famed season, but i recommend it highly........
September 26, 200322 yr Author Maris was the nicest guy in the world who was always cast aside. I forgot the movie that documented that famed season, but i recommend it highly........ 61*?
September 26, 200322 yr ACtually believe it or not, Maris was hated because he DARED to break the record and out do the great MICK and Babe.........true story.

After hearing this I always found it funny that Mantle was so idolized by Yankee fans while Maris was so hated. ty cobb was also a prick in his days... he slammed a couple of little kids fingers in the bus window and broke them, when they stuck in a paper and pencil for an autograph......every era has its assholes......
September 26, 200322 yr Author ACtually believe it or not, Maris was hated because he DARED to break the record and out do the great MICK and Babe.........true story. Yeah, I actually new that. I still find it ironic though.
September 26, 200322 yr Yeah, I actually new that. I still find it ironic though. Well think of it this way. IF kobe came in at the end of the bulls title era and won the scoring title over MJ and was on the same team, would all bulls fans accept him? I would but im not sure all of them would......or even most.
September 26, 200322 yr Well think of it this way. IF kobe came in at the end of the bulls title era and won the scoring title over MJ and was on the same team, would all bulls fans accept him? I would but im not sure all of them would......or even most. espically if he came his way out of a little hick town and was a nobody and rose to be a somebody in the matter of a season......fans are a funny thing......they either love ya or hate ya no matter what you do....... see roman on frank for an example.......

I would but im not sure all of them would......or even most. A little different scenario. Kobe is a jackass. I'm not judging him on the whole rape accusation. But he is arrogant and I really have never liked his attitude. I always found him to be very phony and it says something when none of your teammates like you.
September 26, 200322 yr You are all missing the point. It's not a matter of who did what or who deserves it more. In fourty years from now nobody is going remember Mantle but there will be plently of people who remember Sosa. You are completely underestimating the ability of Cub fans, and baseball fans in general, to worship players who don't deserve it.

September 26, 200322 yr Mick had the sauce, sam has the juice. They're not watching my kids so let baseball handle it.
