Scott,

Are you stirring the pot with this post or do you think those three were truly scoundrels?

I didn't want to waste my votes on Devlin, Bonds and Gandil, since those guys are shoo-ins.

Actually, Mantle and Mays were banned from baseball by Peter Ueberoth in the 1980s, due to their association with an Atlantic City casino.

The gambling was more my angle. If this thread had included football, I would have thrown in Alex Karras and Paul Hornung.

But yes, Eric - I figured that would stir up things. But I do have limits, deciding to leave Jackie Robinson, Kirby Puckett and Roberto Clemente off of my list.

Braun's words...

"I’ve tried to handle the entire situation with honor, with integrity, with class, with dignity and with professionalism because that’s who I am and that’s how I’ve always lived my life."

Yeah, sure.

"If I had done this intentionally or unintentionally, I’d be the first one to step up and say, ‘I did it.’ By no means am I perfect, but if I’ve ever made any mistakes in my life I’ve taken responsibility for my actions. I truly believe in my heart, and I would bet my life, that this substance never entered my body at any point."

Integrity? Lol lies.

"I want everybody to ask themselves this question: if you guys went to go get a physical, something you’ve done 20-25 other times in your life, and three weeks later and told you that you were terminally ill with a disease, and it made no sense to you. ‘I feel perfectly fine, nothing’s any different than it’s ever been, this doesn’t make any sense,’ and you look back at the process and you find out that your doctor decided to take your urine sample home for a 44-, 48-hour period, there’s no documentation as to what happened. You don’t know if he left it in the trunk of his car, you don’t know where it could have been or what could have potentially happened to it during that period of time. I can assure you that you would never go back to that doctor, and you would demand a re-test."

Synthetic testosterone isn't a terminal illness.


I realize you are a Brewers fan, but c'mon man, Braun is about as two-faced as they come.

The handling of the sample from Braun's defense perspective was smoke and mirrors. It was an easy out excuse. The fact is he cheated. He tried to blame his failed test on the method of collection rather than focusing on the fact that he failed his test because he was caught cheating.

I don't mind fan loyalty. Just be up front.

There were a lot of things that we learned about the collector, about the collection process, about the way that the entire thing worked that made us very concerned and very suspicious about what could have actually happened.
I'm curious as to what "things" he claimed to have learned about the collector? Does he go any further at that point?

This isn't an attack on the collector's integrity?
