Cruzer 1,992 Posted January 25, 2018 The stigma is stupid. They are comparing Mariano to a posistion that has short longevity and a team has to worry about all the time. The Yankees had no concerns for 19 years. No reliever comes close. You're applying logic to old crotchety baseball writers - those two don't always mesh.

bandrus1 413 Posted January 25, 2018 Then you have to give them the benefit of the doubt. It's not fair to them to just assume. I'm sure they were tested too. If they admit it, then ok. But, Bonds is a cheater. Clemens is a cheater. Everyone who failed a test are cheaters. Ok well I don't give anybody the benefit of the doubt but I don't paint them all guilty Brian Roberts was a user.. you didnt need to be some huge monster clubber to have been a user Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
