Rock Raines was the shtein back in the day.

There's a guy coming up in a couple of years that would have my vote:
Tim Raines.
Absolutely awesome player when he played in Montreal. The guy had power, hit for average, played great defense, stole about a million bases, and had a gun for an arm in his early days.
He hit a screaming line drive one night when I was out in the left field seats at the Vet that nearly killed my ass. :-D
I still have the ball that I got him to autograph the next day. He wasn't going to sign it until I told him he almost killed me with it the day before. He laughed and said, "sure kid, no problem."
Still one of my favorites... :yay
I wrote that 11 years ago. Holy shtein.
Still have the ball too.
now that selig and bagwell are in i hope everyone gets off their roid high horses and puts in bonds and clemens
Um, if Bonds gets in then so should Pete Rose. Neither will happen.
Also - farg Curt Schilling and his 45%. I hope that punk bitch never gets in and he spends the rest of his miserable life complaining about how he's a victim of liberals.
its 2 separate issues
bonds is on the ballot and its the voters call. rose isnt on any ballot and i believe mlb has to reinstate him in order for a decision to be made about how to handle his candidacy.
he should 100% go, along with shoeless joe and buck weaver, but shouldnt get his day in the sun. hes broke an unbreakable rule. but put his plaque in. hes a massive piece of baseball history and its a baseball history museum.
It's laughable that roid heads can't get in, but Selig aka The Enabler can.
Damn.
Yordano Ventura killed in a car accident.
Andy Marte also killed but in a separate accident.
Both in th Dominican.
i almost died in a car accident in DR last week too. those MFers drive like iceholes.
Oscar Taveras was another who died in a wreck
Were you in a taxi Matt?
Ventura was the starting pitcher in Marte's last game. Coincidence? I think not...
