Damn! Roberto Alomar has AIDS?

[Violent Demise]

You on your own here Lyle. Alomar is a 12 time all star. 10 time gold glove winner. He also has won 4 silver slugger awards. He's a future hall of famer. How can you not rate him but rate a scrub like Tom Herr?

Alomar is NOT getting in the Hall....end of discussion!


OK Vizquel is one of the FEW players who can get in the Hall based solely on defense. He has better stas than Ozzie fielding but I would take any number of SS over Vizquel

LOL. Alomar is getting in. That I have no doubt of.

To me no player is off limits as far as considering if they did roinds or not, to the point I gotta wonder if Cal Ripken wasnt taking something his last few years leading up to the record

Oh yeah, that's why I brought up Rickey Henderson....I like the guy but he was SO GOOD I just wonder about him considering his teammates in Oakland.

Also Cal Ripken's buddy Brady Anderson IMO was a juicer....50 HR's in 1996 which was 26 more homers than he hit in any other season.


Matt Williams has to be looked at too....good 3B but I am not without my doubts about him

I'll talk more about this later when I have time. Guys like Cal Ripken,Tony Gwynn and Ricky Henderson are considered throwbacks, and the last crop of great quality player considered to be pure athlete before the steroid era, if any of those 3 were implicated or found to have any ties to PHD then baseball would be set back for many years and the damage would seemingly be irepairable to most bleeding heart windbag writers.

IMO this is far from over, you will see names like the above referenced 3 in the near future, and purists will have to recognize that PHD was part of an evolution process that help promote longevity and gaudy numbers that put asses in seats, everyone profitted from player, owners comissioner etc. and even the fan from an entertainment standpoint. Guys like Bonds will get less scrutinized as the years go by..

I for one are part of the ever growing majority who will follow baseball with the same enthusiasm,nostalgia and zeal that I always had... No matter what its a beautiful game whether a picture dominates a hitter blasts 80 home runs, I love it
