Dean HThis may not be relevant, but nobody ever brings up Gaylord Perry when cheaters are talked about. I believe the spitball was illegal but he made a HOF career out of it. And I don't think he was too hush hush about it. Should he be kicked out of the HOF?? I only bring it up because if we are going to treat B.B. as a cheater, then we need to be equally demanding of other cheaters. Are home runs more important that pitching wins?? I also don't want to come across as letting B.B. slide either. I'm no no Barry Bonds fan so I really don't have a dog in the fight. I just like consistancy. I think most people don't like B.B. because he seems to be a first class A-hole, but I also have to admit I have personally never been around him, just what I see and hear in the media. So it's difficult to separate the personality from the ball player. Good thing Ty Cobb didn't paly today.
