What a Stallion |
There is no speck of evidence linking Piazza to steroid use, and he's still getting vilified for playing at the same time as Bonds and McGuire. Aaron Sele got a vote for the Hall of Fame yesterday. I have no joke there because that actually happened. Aaron Sele was like the 3rd start for the Mariners behind Jarrod Washburn or some other bum. How can these Baseball Writers still have a job wasting votes like that. The person who voted for Aaron Sele ahead of Mike Piazza obviously doesn't know baseball or is just a total douche.
Now maybe I'm upset because Piazza was my favorite player and probably my favorite Met of all time but come on, Numbers never lie, facts are facts, people die and that's about the long and short of it. Piazza is a first ballot HOF'er by the numbers and was a gentleman off the field. Maybe one of the most inspirational sports moments of all time came off his bat, just an amazing shot from the best hitting catcher of all time. I love Mikey P and its sucha shame that he isn't in the Hall the first year of his eligibility.
PS. Craig Biggio wore more padding than anyone who has ever played baseball, never seen anything like it. He was like the kid from the Little Giants whose mom wrapped him up in packaging
