q eighty sports locked up and make a which works from behind the camera
i love the story because the new york yankees have fired reggie jackson
and he doesn't even really work for them
he's a special advisor for the team he's been told not to come around these parts
no more
actually an executive saying that it's not really the death penalty but more of
a cooling-off period for reggie
uh... in case you haven't following the story very quickly what reggie said
was this and it couldn't possibly make more sense reggie said that
iran's numbers alex rodriguez and reggie had been friends for sometime and reggie
in his capacity is
general guy who kind of works for the yankees
they've been friends for while reggie said was that uh...
iran's numbers are tainted because he admitted using performance enhancing
drugs
and the yankees are licked
in and andy's also added
if any of these guys who've had the sort of take of performance enhancing drugs
get elected to the hall of fame obviously that would include a rat
then reggie said they would be some kind of boycott biker hall of fame
reggie jackson one hundred percent correct
you know we have a fascinating hall class coming up in two thousand thirteen
barry bonds
sammy sosa
roger clemens
mike piazza all the hall of fame back up
obviously
the taint of steroids very different for all those guys bonds mcguire botany
bonds sosa
and clemens with uh...
more specific
the tape more specific tapes terrorist piazza
has never he admitted using and rose to whatever scotty perhaps of the andhra
and retreating andrew which is sending marketwire admitted to really discreet
never admitted using steroids
he's not in the mitchell report
but there is a stigma around like piazza that he did use steroids although
absolutely no proof excess i keep reading that it is unlikely that the
after the best offense of catcher in baseball history will get in on the
first ballot
whether these other guys make it at all very curious and reggie ye makes a
totally totally valid point
revision numbers to buttress the fact that these guys
packet in the hall of fame right away mark mcguire
twenty percent nineteen point five percent last time that set the
percentage baseball writers voting him at all effect
margot her by the way farther in eighty three home runs an eight nine eighty-two
opi s but obviously walk right into the hall of fame without the steroids day
rafael palmer out twelve point six percent
this is a guy with a p_s_ below nine hundred but by other in sixty nine home
runs
he'd be bowman of rwandans owls
four percent for want of alice anyway get five percent you will be on the
ballot anymore jose conseco in two thousand seven helmsman point one
percent
one point one percent for jose conseco who seemed obviously early in his career
haploid rooster like obvious hall-of-famer first ballot all the
family
now is the least likable person in the
friggin' country owes a concern about the totally fair point
barry bonds you know i don't let the sublet would work with talk about this
before barry bonds
you know as a kid grow up in a baseball fan they were numbers you new senator
fourteen home runs that's as owner that that somebody home runs babe ruth it
blanket at seven fifteen appropriate this record
a retired seven fifty five those were numbers baseball fans new
you don't know how many home runs very bonsai i didn't know how many home runs
very positive dot i looked it up today
it's seven hundred sixty two that's the record he isn't opi s of one thousand
and fifty one
berry behind so p_s_ his last season
was one thousand forty-five at age forty two
the guys unbelievable offense in which she
and it's going to be very curious and baseball writers
association handles
bonds and clemmons now obviously and p outside craig b_g_ as going to be on the
ballot
i was really great beaches get into the hall of fame interestingly jeff bagwell
ken a lot of home runs comes from the same era
his percentage one-up one up from the forties two fifty six last time
startling to maybe jeff bagwell soon to get the hall of fame maybe let's say
five percent or reggie is right reggie said nothing wrong
and the yankees have fired him for no reason let reggie jackson go back to his
job doing nothing
