Watching McGwire walk out of the dugout holding his bat that looked like a drum stick and then cranking out HR after HR was so amazing... He has always been my favorite MLB player since he was with the A's. Him vs Sosa was one of the most entertaining moments in sports history alongside MJ and the Bulls.

As a Chicagoan, summer of 1998 was one of the greatest of my life. Sammy Sosa made the “Loveable Loser” Cubs relevant again, packed the stands at Wrigley, boosted broadcast ratings & gave baseball fans a story to root for! The Chicago metropolitan area went nuts for Sosa! My neighbor built a “Sosa HR Count” scoreboard on the roof of his barn. Fans came from EVERYWHERE to see his barn! Mark McGwire got the record, but Sammy was one of US & we loved him. Such a great summer… Now the Cubs want him to apologize. THE Cubs benefited financially from his merchandise, performance & whatever he did to achieve it…. Fans had a blast watching at home, listening on the radio and sitting in the stands… An apology? Guy deserves a statue I don’t blame him for refusing… I would too..

I still don't know why lefty swing looks prettier. It just does. And, yes, I always said, let them roid put, wind the ball tighter. I don't even watch baseball anymore.

How much fun was Sammy Sosa, mark McGwire, and Barry Bonds home run race back in the day?

PEDs do not help hand-eye coordination the way they're saying. In MLB the advantage is that it increases bat speed which gives a hitter more time to commit/not commit to a pitch. Bonds had an outstanding and compact swing so the increased bat speed gave him even more time before deciding to commit to a pitch which is why he batted .370 in 2002, very few curveballs were going to fool him.

Nothing will ever top the 1990s era of baseball. It was a magical time. Imagine as a pitcher having to face McGwire, Canseco and Ricky Henderson in the same inning.

Man I loved watching the A's back then.Dave Parker and Dave Henderson as well. They had some big talent on that team!

What a great topic to discuss the 90s when rap was at its best, and MLB was at its PEAK! Sammy Sosa was the one who held it down! something about that unique jump after he would smash a homer! it was magnificent !

1989. Battle of the bay. Canseco, McGuire, Will Clark, Kevin Mitchell and the earthquake. Best of times (earthquake was sketchy, but made for great street bbqs - Santa Clara). Eddie Money said it best. I can't go back, I know.

Joe was wrong about congress not doing any other sport. They even went after the WWE for steroids, and that’s not even a “real” sport. I think there was a time where the attitude in the government about drugs shifted so far negatively that anyone they could expose and say “look a drug cheat!“ would be a win for whatever agenda or legislation they would try to push.

Yup. All for political image to act like they're doing something important. But busting steroids in a literal Game was more important than say tackling mental health issues or homeless problems

New age steroids are the opioids being handed to these players to help with the pain. Not saying it helps them play or be any better.

I'm an Independent Latino. THANK YOU ROGAN!!! 1:48:58 Many broken home kids should listed to this episode. Mental Health, mental Illness is a serious thing folks. My mom helped this GenX lady (me) out how to control the "Lady with the Blue Dress Cunt" Depression and her friends. Still today I take my mom's advice: Multi-Vitamins, Vitamin D (if there is no Vitamin D on-hand 10 mins of sun), B-Complex, Vitamin C, happy music (No Cut-Vain Music) and positive activities. 1:54:40 I agree workout or do something positively productive to just to be stable.

Canseco said he was doing it in the minor leagues which was about 1984, then became a beast, then was a major league star by 85

I propose that each mlb team be allowed to designate 1 player per year as the teams "designated steriod player". Extend an older players career or help a guy get through injury. Joe mentioned meeting Canseco in 1986. Take a look at all the big time rookies from 85 through 87, Roids. That's why i dont care about it. They all had action. Video tape (the ability to scout and watch oppenents before facing them) changed the game more then anything one thing.

In 2004, at age 39, Barry Bonds had 45 home runs only 41 strikeouts and 232 bases on balls. 120 of those being intentional walks. Barry Bonds is the all-time leader in bases on balls , intentional walks , and home runs. Not to mention Barry also holds the record for most home runs in one season 73. "Nobody in history made a pitcher pay for a mistake more. If a pitcher made one fucking mistake by an inch? over!"
@DrJay-wi8ye2 жыл бұрын
Also When Barry hit 73 home runs in 2001 he was walked 177 times. The 3rd most in his career and the league leader in bases on balls that year.

When you are able, in any given moment, to find the laughter, to find the love, your life as you have lived it through the filter of your mind, will be over. To know the self is to see the self, to see the self is to understand the self, to understand the self is to learn, to learn is to teach - this is the obligation set by each student as they walk the path to healing.

Haha it's funny he mentioned sheffield. That was my favorite player as a kid. I didn't find out about him until he was already with the dodgers and at the time I was growing up in Florida and despite him being on the Marlins a year or two prior, no one was saying oh my favorite player is Sheffield because they loved Griffey or so so Maguire or one of those guys. He was absolutely massive. Definitely juiced up don't give a shit though. Sheffield hit the ball harder than fucking anybody. I wish stat cast was around when he played because I guarantee you we'd be seeing some insane numbers of how fast the ball was being hit
