...but it didn't happen today, did it?...lemme guess, Jacobson?

...why did you feel compelled to ask a question you obviously already knew the answer to?...just to stir up and old argument?

...not gonna play your little game.

No, it was meant as a rhetorical comment given your post #16. Given that the Feds have dropped the remaining charges against Bonds were should consider him "allegedly chemically enhanced" lol! I don't support Jacobson, but I do find it interesting that people are so certain of chemical enhancement between the 80s til today, yet completely refuse to consider that performance enhancing substances have been around since the time of Babe Ruth. I've agreed with you that the probabilities of modern stars cheating is significantly greater than the older stars, and I'm not trying to assassinate anyone's heroes.

Now when the powers that be deem alcohol was a PED, we can reopen the Mantle discussion, lol!

...no, it was in response to your question about what caused "Mantle's festering hole".?...and then to your subsequent statement that "if it happened today" Mantle "would be a suspect"...well, suspect of what exactly? If you were not saying that Mickey is suspected of using PEDS, what exactly was your point?

...again, it seemed very clear that you obviously already knew what caused the hole in Mantle's before you asked the question because you didn't quote my statement about Mantle's festering hole, but instead you quoted my post saying "chemically enhanced",...and even after looking at it once again, it implies that you think Mantle was technically "dirty" because there is conjecture about the "shot" he received.



...and you keep trying to draw comparisons between the recent PED scandal vs what MIGHT have happened many many years ago...but the fact is that unless you have some sort of time machine equipped with a "flux capacitor" you cannot say for certain what did happen back in the day because we just don't know...and you cannot retroactively undo the already inducted HOFers based on suspicion alone because any perceived proof was simply not available back then...if it had been, things might have been different and the HOF voters would have possibly voted differently.
...now, on the other hand, what we DO know for certain is that there are many who are being excluded from the HOF either because there is very little doubt they used PEDs or there is at least some doubt in the mind of the voters.

For the record, I'm not implying Mantle was dirty. He was a drunk, and probably not the best family man, but as a player - he played the game right.

To sum up, we only know what we know. That includes the entire history of baseball.

...whatever, I'll just let it go.
