THEORETICALLY, THE GOAL OF THE TEAM IS TO MAKE THE PLAYOFFS AND
WIN A PENNANT AND A WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONSHIP,
ONE OF THESE 25 PLAYERS IS :
A SLUGGER WHO IS 42 YEARS OLD
A SLUGGER WHO IS A DRUG USER
A SLUGGER WITH 14 HOMERUNS LAST SEASON
A SLUGGER WITH 14 HOMERUNS THIS SEASON
A SLUGGER WHO CAN'T PLAY IF IT IS -- RAINING OR A DAY GAME AFTER A NIGHT GAME OR A GAME IN CERTAIN PARKS OR A GAME AT LOW ALTITUDE OR A GAME WHERE THE WIND IS BLOWING IN TOWARD HOME PLATE
A SLUGGER WHO HAS MISSED ABOUT 25 OR MORE GAMES ALREADY AND ONLY PINCHED HIT IN SEVERAL OTHERS
NOW, THE AVERAGE PERSON, IS AVERAGE. THE AVERAGE PERSON IS NOT A GENIUS. THE AVERAGE PERSON IS NOT PAID MANY HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO RUN A MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL TEAM.
YET, IS THERE ANYONE READING THIS MISSIVE, WHO WOULD STAKE THE FATE OF THEIR TEAM ON A SLUGGER WITH THE FLAWS OUTLINED ABOVE?
IS THIS THE GUY YOU WOULD PAY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO BE THE SLUGGER ON YOUR TEAM - THE ROCK OF YOUR ORGANIZATION ?
SO, IF THE AVERAGE PERSON CAN CLEARLY SEE THE ERRORS IN JUDGMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THE EMPLOYMENT OF THIS "SLUGGER" -- HOW IS IT THAT THOSE IN CHARGE OF THE TEAM, HAVE ALLOWED THE EFFORTS OF 24 PLAYERS TO BE UNDERMINED BY THEIR CATERING TO ONE, OVER THE HILL, .240 BATTING AVERAGE, NON-CONTRIBUTING"PLAYER."
THE COMMISSIONER SHOULD INVESTIGATE THIS SITUATION - IT IS NOT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF BASEBALL, TO HAVE A MAJOR LEAGUE ORGANIZATION TANK THE SEASON, FROM DAY ONE -- AND STARTING A 162 GAME SCHEDULE WITH THIS DOOMED PLAN OF ACTION IN PLACE, WAS CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE.
I HAVE NAMED NO NAMES -- BUT THERE ARE 30 MAJOR LEAGUE TEAMS AND ONLY ONE FITS THIS DESCRIPTION -- THAT TELLS YOU A GREAT DEAL --- THAT IS DAMNING TESTIMONY AGAINST THIS ORGANIZATION.
i glanced thru your site. i am an educator here in Columbia, SC. black male, from Dallas texas. former soldier who did time in Bush's Sandbox. i disagree with you on many points. though it did set off a powerful movement, it was obviously staged. blacks in Charleston were getting beaten to death over bus seats in Charleston 1 week before Rosa made her stand. i know, my aunt spent 3 weeks in the hospital for not giving up her seat. too bad she didnt work for MLK. coincidentally, this incident with his secretary propelled him into the spotlight. i dont believe in coincidence.
youre a teacher, youve should be aware of the principals of the constitution. how can someone be guilty without proof? when he did the drugs, they werent even illegal. it may have been dirty - but no more so than the players that use the Redline contacts lenses that highlight the spin of the ball.
i also have issues with Henry Aaron. when i was a youth in MS, and i had to face off an entire little league team of white kids - i didnt have secret service or FBI. i didnt make millions. all i had was my Slugger. 10 minutes later, i had my Dad. no one ever hit Aaron with a bat because he was black. i took a lick, though.
DEMONICUME -
YOU ARE NOT AS OLD AS I AM, BUT IF YOU GET STRONGER AFTER AGE 35, PLEASE TELL ME THE SECRET, ONLY YOU AND BARRY BONDS WOULD KNOW - IS IT REALLY THE FLAX SEED OIL ?
THE RACE CARD IS NOT OF ANY USE TO BONDS, HE DID NOT SUFFER ANY OF THE PROBLEMS YOU ARE MENTIONING. BONDS IS NOT THE NOBLE BLACK MAN, GOING FORTH ON BEHALF OF HIS "PEOPLE."
HE IS A SMALL MINDED GUY, LOOKING FOR A WAY TO PASS THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF ERNIE, ROBERTO, FRANK, CAMPY, REGGIE, WILLIE AND HANK, AMONG ALL THE OTHER PLAYERS.
HE IS NOT BEING UNFAIRLY ATTACKED, SINCE HE IS LIKE THE KID WHO CHEATED ON THE TEST AND REMAINS IN THE ROOM TO SEE HIS SCORE POSTED - BONDS DOES NOT HAVE THE GOOD SENSE TO GET OUT WHILE THE GETTING IS GOOD, AS MARK AND SAMMY DID.
WHEN YOUR DEFENSE OF BONDS IS THAT OTHERS CHEATED TOO - YOU HAVE UNDERMINED YOUR OWN CASE.
WHEN HE GOES DOWN, IT WILL NOT BE A DEFEAT FOR BLACK FOLKS - THE DANGER IS THAT HIS DISHONESTY AND FAILURE TO STOP LYING ( ASK GREG ANDERSON, CURRENTLY IN JAIL, ABOUT THAT TOPIC ) WILL CAST SU####ION ON THE NEW CROP OF GREAT BLACK PLAYERS -- HE IS ADDING TO THEIR PROBLEMS.
IF YOU HAVE A DESIRE TO HELP A BROTHER, LOOK FORWARD CURT FLOOD - THERE IS A MAN WHO SHOULD BE
CHAMPIONED BY A CONCERNED AND SINCERE MAN, SUCH AS YOURSELF, NOT BARRY BONDS.
BONDS IS NO HERO - HE IS THE SPORTS WORLD'S GREATEST CHEATER AND AS BOTH A BLACK MAN AND A MAN -- I AM NOT PROUD OF THAT.
I ADMIRE YOUR SPIRIT TO BATTLE FOR YOUR RIGHTS, BACK IN THE DAY, YOU ARE JUST AIMING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION THIS TIME
but thats the point isnt it? we cant deal in supposition. we cant guess. youre innocent until proven guilty. i wouldnt let someone persecute (prosecute) you without proof and i dont see why he shouldnt be given the same level of protection. the chemicals he's accused of taking werent even illegal when he took them. if anyone is guilty, it'd prolly be MLB for moving too slowly. my argument isnt that he should cheat because everyone else did. i'm saying that what he did - if he did anything - wasnt cheating. cheating, for all the passion beind it, is defined by rules. he might have violated the spirit of the law/rule, but not the rule itself. like i said, i'm affording him the same level of respect i'd give you or anyone else accused. as for the race card, you dont have to suffer to be black. he doesnt owe the community anything. i really havent heard him say anything to that effect either. all he says on camera is 'lets talk baseball.' the black community marched on the Duke LX players with no proof and conflicting stories. as it turns out - those guys are prolly innocent. are we about to do thesame thing to Barry?
