I think the player who most wasted his good name with steroids was Alex Rodriguez. The steroid use probably contributed to his hip problems that caused him to miss many games and, of course, miss a whole season to suspension. He claimed to be drug-free in 2005 when he tested positive for PEDs in 2003. Sosa finished his career right where he started it, with the Texas Rangers. For three seasons, he hit more than the steroid-free Roger Maris record of 61 in a season. If there was ever a player in Major League Baseball who didn't need to cheat to win multiple MVP awards and make it into the Hall of Fame, it was Barry Bonds.
Tejada was a good hitter, and a terrific fielder who probably wouldn't have been involved in the steroid scandal were it not for Rafael Palmeiro snitching him out like a bitch. Rodriguez admitted to steroid use while he played for the Rangers. The problem I have with this is that he implies that he stopped when he got to the Yankees. A note of interest is that, with the exception of Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire, every player on this list has had a stint with the Texas Rangers. It is interesting that the organization has not shouldered any type of responsibility or taken any criticism for potentially being a major part of the steroid scandal. He would retire after the 2005 season, and he'd do so after recording over 3,000 hits and 569 home runs.
Aaron Judge's 62nd HR ball sells for $1.5 million
While that may be true - steroids are absolutely cheats, and steroid users are cheating...breaking the rules, gaming the system, and doing so dishonestly. Gonzalez appeared larger and stronger than Canseco over the years. But after the 2001 season, his never-ending injuries took their toll on him.
After starting the year by consistently generating five or more pressures in most games, Smith has only been able to do that in one of his last three games. With such strong wind gusts predicted, power outages are a serious concern, Hamilton said. Given that a holiday weekend is approaching and severe, snowy weather is expected throughout the northern US, any potential power outages would be "really bad news," Hamilton said. This Christmas weekend is expected to bring whipping winds, bitter cold temperatures and heavy lake effect snow to parts of western New York, including the Rochester region.
Mets shockingly land Correa after Giants deal falls apart
After a stretch of seven games without a home run, Judge finally did it, crushing a ball into the left field bullpen at Rogers Centre in Toronto to tie Roger Maris’s American League record, set in 1961. I, like almost all, had never been in attendance when a player hit his 60th home run of the season. At the time, witnesses to that accomplishment were limited to those in attendance at one of the eight games where the revered baseball milestone had previously been reached. Jeter then hit a walk-off shot on a full count in the bottom of the 10th to even the series 2-2. The game started on Halloween but Jeter’s homer came after midnight, making it the first dinger in MLB history hit in the month of November.
With all the players that have taken steroids, you might as well give up on baseball. I just don't know what your problem is about steroids. I gave my position and gave examples, but you just keep coming back to knee jerk no steroids. Will it ever matter to these players if they don't make it to the Hall of Fame after they've earned hundreds of millions of dollars in their career?
What Aaron Judge thinks of Yankees’ other big offseason move
The ball from New York Yankees star Aaron Judge's American League record-setting 62nd home run of the 2022 season sold for $1.5 million with a buyer's premium on Saturday night. According to ESPN, the ball is the second most expensive baseball ever to be sold at auction. Winter storm warning issued for Monroe County in effect from Friday morning to Sunday morning.
While almost always showing a two-high look, the Vikings will play Cover 2, Cover 3, Cover 4, and Cover 6, and when they want to play man, they’ll usually play Cover 1. At the second level, Eric Kendricks and Jordan Hicks are the only off-ball linebackers that get significant playing time. Kendricks has played the second most snaps on this Vikings defense, behind only Camryn Bynum. As of Wednesday morning, the Weather Service did not pinpoint predicted snow totals for the long-duration snow event, but Hamilton said it will likely be measured in feet rather than inches. Temperatures are expected to rapidly drop into the teens on Friday across western New York, then strong, high winds are predicted to pick up by Friday evening and continue through most of the weekend. The warnings, watches and advisories run from Friday morning through Monday morning.
Steve Cohen's Mets have a plan to win
Juan Alberto González Vázquez was at one time the single best offensive player in all of baseball. He hit a baseball into the second deck in the left field of the old Yankee Stadium. It was the biggest hit anyone had seen there in a long time. Juan looked like he barely weighed 180 pounds at the time.
Aaron spent most of the previous offseason facing scrutiny and receiving death threats after finishing the 1973 season one shy of the record. The pressure he faced during that time must have been immense, yet Aaron showed incredible class and grace throughout the ordeal. Ultimately, his gesticulations paid off, as the ball hit the foul pole to give Boston a walk-off win.
Hicks has picked up 12 pressures on just 45 rush attempts when used as a pass-rusher. Where Phillips and Tomlinson are at their best is manning the middle of the line of scrimmage as space eaters and run defenders. While the production numbers aren’t there, it’s clear that they make an impact based on how difficult it’s been for opposing offenses to run the ball in the interior. There's also a risk of roads flash freezing on Friday, as rain is expected in Rochester Friday morning, Zaff warned. Any wet surfaces will quickly freeze as the temperature drops 20 to 30 degrees throughout the day - from a predicted high of 45 down to the mid-teens. "This will bring a lot of wind and a lot of blowing snow," said Weather Service meteorologist Dave Zaff.
Despite being the most targeted Vikings DB in week 15, Bynum allowed just two catches on six targets for 15 yards. Peterson was targeted five times and allowed just one completion for 15 yards. It will also be cold this weekend, with highs expected in the upper teens. When considering the wind chill, it will feel far colder- around 10 to 20 degrees below zero.
