  • The writers or Veteran's/Era/Whatchamacallit Committee voted in Bonds and Clemens
  • The card companies never started cutting up vintage jerseys
  • A .300 hitter with 40 stolen bases was considered at least as valuable as a .220 hitter with 40 homers
  • Modern fans realized that wins mattered as a pitching stat back when hurlers didn't bail after XX pitches
  • Modern fans realized pitchers matter

    I could go on and on and on; however, decided to stop after the first ten things crossed my mind. It's time to go look through one of my binder sets.
I wish baseball never outlawed PEDs, so guys like Trout and Judge could be hitting 100 home runs a year, and Kershaw and Verlander could keep pitching until they are 60.
