@Blind_Bleeder Just curious. What did Chuck do? … or as we call him in German: Chuck Garlic
It's not what he did or didn't do. He walked away from the game because he'd had enough..

Maybe he’s talking about the spousal abuse incidents that got his Twins Hall of Fame ceremony cancelled by the team about 10 years ago.
It was before that. He has never been back to MN after he left baseball. His distaste for MN is very strong.

@YOSHI24_XBL A LOT of these lists or players that should be legends have no merit whatsoever, it's just because 'likes them"....Brett Buttler? in the league 17 years and 1 time , yes ONE TIME ALL STAR, career batting average of 290 ok that' s good, what were the rest of his stats? Exactly no one cares to remember cause he was an average player and this one above Twins Fan at all by chance or "no These are just the greatest players ever" and not ever mentioning great Twins that have been left out like Tony Olivia or Rod Carew..nope had to stick in that 4 year time span when you chose to be a fan because they won two world series. Pucket of course, Dave Windfield yes but what he did as a yankeee not as a twin, lol Dan Gladden? Why not Steve Lombardozi or Greg Gagne or Gary Gaetti? Love how just because people have memories of a player(s) or team in a brrief period they were "all legends bruh" as everything has to be the greatest or worst now in society no one can just be very good. That's an insult . Good Lord. Oh i forgot Randy Bush and Tim Laudner.

we need bonds, Arod and clemens in mlb the show period
-
@ace_hardlight28_PSN A-Rod is the most likely I think, because he admitted to his use of PEDs, but that's about it. I believe Bonds had some disagreement with the pa (seen it on here, but don't fully remember), and Clemens is a possibility if he opens up about his use.
-
Love your list. As a Giants fan, love seeing Will Clark and Matt Williams there. Kevin Mitchell would be another good one, as would Robbie Thompson. Maybe Angel Pagan, too.
As a Red Sox fan, Manny Ramirez, Tony Conigliaro, Jackie Jensen and Rico Petrocelli.

Ugh. I don't care how good he is, I would actively avoid any A-Rod cards.
Even most Yankee fans can't stand the guy.
-
Manny would be fun to see. Ted would be great even if they do a Season 4 HOF card this year, and Dustin and Jason are underrated. Yaz is definitely someone who I haven't seen in any recent games to my knowledge, but would be interesting to see how they treat him
-
yankee fan here. i appreciated everything arod gave the team. he also vindicated himself in 09. hes an all time great player period

With or without the roids? How many times did he test positive? I know it was multiple times.
He's not like Bonds who has a clear non-steroid period where he was still great.
Not to mention his obnoxious personality, girlie-smacking the ball out of the glove in '04 and then acting like he did nothing, etc.
Also, if you have one postseason to point to in 2009 to vindicate his choker label, here were his stats from the 2009 World Series:
.250 avg
1 HRYeah the rest of his postseason was pretty great, but let's not act like he was Mr. October.
-
I was gonna say that Phillies shut him down in that WS
-
And that's what A-Rod supporters call "vindication". Lol.
He was a liar, a cheat, and a choker. That's A-Rod in a nutshell.
-
@dbub_PSN steroids make you bigger and make you recover fast but they dont teach:
hand eye coordination
plate discipline
having a plan at the plate
timing
bat speed
hitting mechanicswith or without roids these guys are all time great players. roids dont teach talent
-
a .973 ops in the WS is shutting down a hitter ?
. he won game 4 in the 9th and his home run in game 3 changed that game as well -
ill gladly take a .973 ops from my hitter in the WS. oh and you left out his 6 rbi’s he had that world series too lol. oh and how is a career .822 post season ops a career post season choker ?
-
As a Yankee fan you have so many respectable players to be a fan of.
And you choose A-Rod? Whatever man. You do you.
-
he lied, got caught, owned up to lying and STILL preformed great in 09 to lead the team to the championship despite facing that adversity. i am indeed thankful for what he gave us. a huge reason why people dont like him is because he isnt as cuddly as a guy like david ortiz is but who cares
just win the [censored] title
-
I'm sorry but Arod should never be in this game
