I like how Pedro is blamed for throwing don zimmer to the ground yet zimmer rushed him what’s Pedro supposed to do let him tackle him? 😂 he didn’t punch the old man or anything

[@mattfritz9986]

Watch mojo made it sound like he picked Zimmer up and threw him down as hard as he could.

Pedro didn't grab Zimmer by his skull and threw him to the ground. He grabbed his shoulders instead.

[@KingCuzco]

exactly and you can even see simmer reaching his arms towards Pedro’s face. doesn’t matter how old a person may be or how respected you are you shouldn’t charge at a person like that with the intentions of hurting them and expect the person to not defend himself 😂😂

[@lukewwilson1984]

What is an athlete in his prime suppose to do against a 70+ year old fat guy, I don't know, maybe briskly walk the other way

[@MsUltrafox]

Ok that #3 is viewed wrongly. That old dude charged that black dude and all he did was deflect that old fart and backed away immediately. You can clearly see the old dude reaching out with his hands to grab the black guy only to be met with a deflection move. Simple, clean, and justified in my eyes.

[@munkustrap2]

For clarification..."old dude" = Don Zimmer & "black dude" = Pedro Martinez.

[@Bino9898]

Martinez is Dominican, not black 😂 but yeah he was fully justified in that. When you charge at somebody you take responsibility for what happens to you, no matter how old you are.

I’m a Yankees fan. Pedro did the right thing. He pushed zimmer aside and not engaged him.

[@munkustrap2]

I have to admit, it's surprising & refreshing to see Yankee fans understanding what happened in this incident. It would've been easy to just hate on Pedro because, at the time, he was a pitcher for the Red Sox.

[@joermnyc]

No Pete Rose? He actually DID bet on games he was playing (or managing!)

[@defineboredom]

great point! Pedro tossing Zimmer is an Honorable Mention at best, especially since they completely framed what happened incorrectly. Zimmer went after Pedro, Pedro said, "whatever boomer." Pete Rose, on the other hand, really did make a mockery of the game. That was scandal and unsportsmanlike beyond imagination.

[@MrSinister__99]

Pedro is in the right, I woulda done the same thing🤷🏾‍♂️

[@atticusmcfly]

You would think Chase Utley or Manny Machado's dirty slides into 2nd base would make the list over Albert Bell since they ended 2 elite level players career early. Machado slid in on Dustin Pedroia and Chase Utley slid in on Ruben Tejada.

[@mariomasv]

The padres were losing by 1 run. The team was trying to win. It's not Davis' fault that the fielders were playing deep. He just saw an opportunity to get on base and took it. Tony Gwynn approved.

[@MikeQuinn71]

That bunt is not unsportsmanlike in any way in my opinion. The batter's job is to get a hit and he found a way. (Even if you think it *is* unsportsmanlike, there's got to be something worse than that)

[@poluticon]

I agree with you. the batters job is to get on base any way he can, also Arizona only had a two run lead so the tying run comes up to the plate. Maybe if they were down by seven or something like that you could perhaps argue that it was a cheap thing to do, but regardless it wasn't unsportsmanlike.

[@MrBananaCheeks]

Exactly. It's on the pitcher to be perfect, and on the batter to get runs.

[@joermnyc]

That bunt didn’t end the perfect game, the 2nd baseman mishandling the ball ended the perfect game.

[@civilwildman]

I knew #1 was going to be on there. I'm surprised Pineda being caught using pine tar against the Red Sox or Manny Machado spiking Dustin Pedroia weren't on this list.

[@Duceward]

I feel like if you do that to the ASTRO you got to do that to every world champion that won and before them

[@Scocheu09]

But the Astros weren’t the only team cheating in 2017. It’s been confirmed the Red Sox and the Yankees were cheating that year as well. There are other numerous teams that have been accused, including the dodgers, but were never proven. It is known now that it was a widespread practice that started years before the Astros did anything and numerous players have confirmed the Astros were scapegoated for a league wide problem.

[@greyygoblinn5639]

Sign stealing is part of baseball, if Tom Brady can sit on a sideline with an iPad and pick apart a defense between drives then I see no reason why you can sign steal. Most highschool coaches now a days teach how to steal catcher signs. Not even an astros fan but disagreed whole heartedly with that “scandal” it was bullshit to take the heat of the mlb being stupid and ancient as usual

[@logankerr8090]

i'm sorry, but there was nothing wrong with that "bunt". if he wanted a perfect game, he had to do better than that. should've pitched low imo, have him golfing

[@logankerr8090]

so people expected him to strike out on purpose so the pitcher could have a perfect game? you gotta earn it. not the batter's fault

[@Justanotherinvisible]

I call bs. I'm a pirates fan and have no dog in the fight. I hate both the red Sox and the Yankees. But there is no fault whatsoever on pedro. Just because someone is 1000 years old doesnt give them the right to attack you unfettered. Pedro was probably shocked that he was being attacked by a mummy and simply bull fightered him. That's simply an example of self control that you would expect an old man to show rather than a young professional athlete.

[@calebbegley3833]

If you look up "unsportsmanlike" in the dictionary, you'll find many pictures, especially when it comes to baseball. Bonds, the 2017 Astros, literally everyone who ever took a PED in their life...but, for my money, Albert Belle would have a full on mural.

[@jeremyblackmouth3323]

So if the batter's goal is to hit the baseball that is being thrown at him, he is also to consider helping the opposing team's pitcher get a perfect game with each thrown baseball? Sounds like earning a perfect game that way isn't at all a perfect game.

[@arkansasstorm]

On number 9, isnt there a story that the hitter was talking smack about the pitcher and thats why he reacted the way he did?

[@UltraMagnis]

I'm sorry but Pedro was not in the wrong. Just because he's an old man he was rushing him with aggression. If he had decked him I'd understand but he just used his momentum to just push him to the ground. The fact he still gets shit about this is stupid. Any man would have done the same thing. I think he took the high road in my personal opinion. He just pushed him to the ground he didn't hit him or continue to attack him on the ground. He stopped the altercation fast. Without injury. What a joke feel sorry for Pedro.

[@billythekidder7182]

Pedro did nothing wrong and neither did the guy who bunted to end the perfect game. Unwritten rules are completely stupid and ruin the game. The Astros should have been stripped of their title. The MLB commissioner is a joke.

[@rathofturkey]

I’m telling you now, there are worse things than this list of 10. People complaining about Gurriel making fun of Darvish is pathetic. Especially when minorities make fun of white people all the time. It’s just as pathetic as people complaining about Martinez throwing Zimmer to the ground. 70-year-old or not, Zimmer is a grown man who should’ve known better. And people have been cheating in sports for a long time. And very rarely does it ever lead to a team forfeiting their championship. Last time I recall was USC losing the 2004 championship. And that one was more legitimate than 2003.

"Can you imagine Forrest Gump running all the way across America only to be tripped? Yeah, it's something like that." Ummm - a bunt to end a perfect game is nothing like that, not even close. People cal talk about unwritten rules all they want, but one rule of baseball that *is* written - if you want outs, you make plays. The opposing team doesn't owe you any. I have no problem with what Ben Davis did.

[@pedro3131]

So did Guriel get the trashcan treatment during his homerun?

[@markshaffer6447]

Dude, Pedro Martinez didn’t do anything wrong, that was all on Don Zimmer. Don was coming at him and all Pedro did was deflect his momentum away. It’s not Pedro’s fault that an unhinged senior citizen came at him and he didn’t strike back he simply deflected. Quite possibly the best case move in that scenario

[@munkustrap2]

I truly am surprised, happily, that so many people understand what truly was happening here. I'm not quite 72 yet but if I charged someone, especially someone so much younger, & all they did was deflect my charge I'd call myself lucky.

[@martyklestadt6766]

Altuve had no part in the cheating either. He specifically told his teammates to not do the can-banging when he was batting, and they pretty much didn't. There is audio and video evidence to back this up.

[@AdamOMcMurphy]

I enjoy any video that calls out the *stros. Had the players been punished, or the titles vacated, this would have been long forgotten. I am more then happy to keep the fire under them burning.

[@Truckerdaddy]

But a case can be made that the pitchers benefitted from the sign stealing. There was also an independent report done that gave a bang rate per player and there were a few that had very to no trash can bangs. Tony Kemp comes to mind and love him or hate him but Altuve was shown to have had a very small amount of trash can bangs.
