In the 5 full seasons before ’98 he hit .337/.401/.583 with 167 HR’s and 526 RBI.

Like I said, I don’t have proof he didn’t take steroids. But no one else has proof he did, and your proof is by far the worst.

I’m an old dude, I took steroids in the 70s, before Ben Johnson, before anybody even knew what a steroid was or what human growth hormone was. This was back when Muscle and Fitness magazine was nothing like it is now. They actually used to print recommended steroid cycles in the magazine. Really.

To me it’s like spotting a toupee, I know it when I see it. Piazza is as guilty as sin.

If you want to live in the clouds, that’s up to you, but you’re wrong.

Is it to late to vote Ray Oyler into the HOF? How about Fernando Vina? Whoops, forget Vina. I guess we’ll have to look forward to Oyler and Dal Maxville to give their induction speeches.

Do I really know if Mike Piazza used PEDs? No I don’t. I just won’t be surprised when it comes out. I personally know that one Hall of Fame candidate used steroids. He is in the same category as Piazza in that he is a suspect but was never caught. He may get in, he may not, but I know that he was a PED user and would not be a hall of famer without them.

I really hate all of this stuff. I have no idea how I would vote on most of the guys from this era.

On D He took away the sac bunt for the first 10 years of his career.
It’s those things that you almost never see today.

1st to 3rd he was one of the best. You can ask opposing coaches if you want proof.
(btw your proof of his use, its not as good as the proof of Bigfoot)

Why did he walk over 100 times a year… He was feared!
Why was he feared, because he won games with his bat, routinely.

Don’t throw out bs about being a few hits short. There are intangibles that make that up and then some.

Greatest Astro ever, Biggio will say if not for Bagwell he is not what he became.

I also had back acne.. I still have a little bit at 32. I have never used steroids.

If I look at pictures from every male I know, including those in my family that I know have never used steroids, EVERYONE’S Body changed significantly from 18 to 25 and later, including facial and body thickening.

There are a few guys who are freaks of nature and never change. I also recall some classmates who had growth spurts around 13 and towered over everyone else but never grew again. Most of them are bald borderline-midgets now ( when you are a shapeless 5′ 13 year-old the 5’8 guys with muscle-tone and beards look like giants).

I guess all these guys ( I wont even get into girls- ask a 30 year old woman to show you her high school pics. You won’t believe it’s the same person) who don’t recognize that bodies change well into adulthood are either chicken-legged “hard gainers” whose bodies never grew or guys whose body parts stopped growing in Jr. high. Or most likely, they just lack any awareness.

So your stupid arguement is, if he had 3 more hits per year, and 4 more home runs per year, then he is in?

I am sure if he used roids he would have reached that and be ok in your eyes.

You sound like a very uneducated fan, that writes like fox reports news.

I wonder if some voters won’t vote for Piazza because he was rumored to be gay too?

If this is true, it’s 100x more offensive than the steroid rumors. The rest of your comment is awful as well.
