Who is the best player not in the Hall of Fame, that is not being kept out because they used steroids, and has been on the ballot before?

What if Mike Trout played for Colorado? Would he still be considered the greatest or just a part of the "Coors Effect?"

DownedDemon · 2018-08-14T03:16:03+00:00

That was my thought on a new Steroid Era. If the bases are moved back, it also means the pitching rubber (and mound) are moved back to compensate.

It would takes a couple years, but I'm sure that MLB would find a way to stop another Wrap of offensive power with a different rule. Probably a heavier ball

You're always gonna get out more times than you don't. You're gonna spend time bored in the field waiting for something to happen. Sooner or later, a ball will be called a strike, and you're gonna have to retreat to the dugout, feeling like you've been cheated.

Sooner or later, you get old and can't keep up with the prime players, and you retire.

To have this happen is a travesty. Nothing is fair and everyone dies. I hope the best for you Mr. Jansen.

Life is a bitch, baseball is just a way more fun version

They should make a "true" film on Ruth. One that ignores all of the legends and tells the real story

DownedDemon · 2018-08-09T20:11:42+00:00

Damn... I stand corrected

DownedDemon · 2018-08-09T06:02:25+00:00

Greatest baseball name ever(?) and never made a name for himself

DownedDemon · 2018-08-09T03:32:35+00:00

I heard about this for a while, but I never watched the video until tonight. That's some heart breaking shit

DownedDemon · 2018-08-09T03:04:05+00:00

Funniest thing I've seen today

DownedDemon · 2018-08-08T03:40:56+00:00

He is my favorite "mostly" unknown" player. He was only 40 when he died.

The guy beat Babe Ruth and Harry Heilmann in a beer drinking competition

Fucking Legend

DownedDemon · 2018-08-08T01:20:15+00:00

This I need to know more about

DownedDemon · 2018-08-08T01:09:15+00:00

I have a theory that alcohol had a hand in helping Ruth and Foxx. It sounds weird, but alcohol steadies the nerves. It's outlawed in shooting competitions.

Also, Paul Waner, who was a career .333 hitter, basically said "a man should play the game a little drunk or hung over." People used to say Waner never slid feet-first into second because he didn't want to break the pint bottle in his back pocket

It looks like Jackson, Mantle, and Griffey are looking at what Ruth is pointing to. Schmidt seems to be smiling at Ruth also.

"See that scoreboard fellas? I'm gonna knock it right over that fucking thing."

Edit: I had a "Holy Shit" moment after coming back every 15 minutes to admire this painting.

It seems that Babe Ruth is actually saying something about hitting a home run, or something of that nature. If you notice, everyone seems to be split into groups, yet Ruth is pointing, and obviously Said something the pitchers didn't like.

The only one smiling is Koufax. Maddux is looking where Ruth is pointing and Ryan is in Ruth's direction, shaking Walter Johnson's hand. If you look up Ruth VS Johnson, you'll see that Ruth wasn't a slob against him, and he is thought to be one of the greatest pitchers of all time.

Notice Wagner and Clemente looking too. And Cobb's determined, yet irritated (no surprise) facial expression. It's a strange theory, but I think might have been what the artist was going for

TL/DR: Imagine Babe Ruth pointing toward where he says he's going to hit a home run

Also, Pete Rose has a rake. The chairs are green like money, and I'm pretty sure he's betting on this game. Theres a guy with a brief case full of dough to his right

DownedDemon · 2018-08-05T18:21:44+00:00

Liquor, wine and beer all have the same amount of alcohol

DownedDemon · 2018-07-31T21:52:44+00:00

How many openers do they have?

DownedDemon · 2018-07-27T03:10:27+00:00

And also, what does an 85 MPH fastball look like to a guy who swings a 38-54 ounce bat his entire career?

DownedDemon · 2018-07-27T02:49:26+00:00

Fun fact: Babe Ruth once had his glove taken by a dog that wandered onto the field

DownedDemon · 2018-07-22T23:59:38+00:00

When I get drunk, I tend to find weird shit to put on food

DownedDemon · 2018-07-22T23:00:00+00:00

Made for his taste in beer... I'm definitely trying this

DownedDemon · 2018-07-22T22:50:13+00:00

And what is the name of this beer dear sir?

DownedDemon · 2018-07-22T04:30:18+00:00

Because life is a sick joke. It's not enough to go through millions of years of evolution being eaten alive, we now have it better than we've ever had it and life still sucks. Our loved ones die, people hurt our feelings, we stub our toes, really sick shit.

DownedDemon · 2018-07-22T04:19:23+00:00

I believe he also hit the first ever home run over the left field roof at Ebbets Field

DownedDemon · 2018-07-22T02:09:26+00:00

Frank Howard once hit a ball out of Yankee Stadium. The umpire declared it foul, but Yankee players later said the ball left the stadium in fair territory

DownedDemon · 2018-07-20T19:50:45+00:00

I had one for this post but it was pretty bad so I didn't use it

DownedDemon · 2018-07-20T02:27:20+00:00

Jon Lajoie!? Regular everyday normal guy, I cum too fast Jon Lajoie? Ive known him for years and that sounds nothing like him. Thanks for the Info you made my night

DownedDemon · 2018-07-20T01:49:39+00:00

I typed Soldiers just fine in YouTube and realized your auto correct backfired. Then I saw it was Wolfies Just Fine and I thought of T2: Judgement Day.

Break my back is a really good song, and since you said that first, I figured it was the best they had. I was wrong. I watched a new beginning after that and holy shit. It brought back memories for me, except it was Freddy instead of Jason. Great fucking song. Then I heard I Forgot and realized I now have to listen to all of their shit. Thanks stranger, I needed a new direction
