Talk about a bunch of nonsense in regards to the whole matter. Everyone knows that Ty Cobb,Mickey Mantle, Michael Jordan,Joe Namath,Magic Johnson and so on were all off the charts in one way or another. Mantle was a total booze hound and womanizer and gambled constantly, Ty Cobb was even worse! Jordan gambled so much that he was suspended from hoops and then took up base-ball for a couple of years. Magic has the aids virus because he obviously had no respect for his wife.

I'm tired of folks bashing today's ballplayers and yet say nothing about the older players. Does anyone think for a second that Ty Cobb or Babe Ruth would not have enhanced their game if they could have? Baseball has turned into this wimpy finger pointing game where if a player does anything wrong on or off the field instantly folks start screaming off with his head.

The best player to ever play the game was a notorious gambler, a known racist, womanizer and abuser of women, but if you find his T206 with his name on the back it will be fought after as if he were god himself.
