Who’s the most beloved athlete in your state?

Sport nearly died after the strike. Their great foresight and leadership brought it back from the dead.

that is NOT leadership.

When the city you play in suffers a terrorist attack that literally shakes it to the core and the team you play for holds a pre-game ceremony to honor those who helped catch the terrorist and just before the ceremony starts the team approaches you (because your viewed as a leader) and asks you to say a few words and you agree to even though you haven’t prepared anything and then you step to the microphone with the nation watching and you speak…



THAT’S leadership. Not playing after the steroid era which those three are the face of.

He was a leader in Boston on a bunch of stacked teams. Barry, McGwire and Sosa were leaders on the national stage when they gave the country what they wanted and saved America’s pastime
 
a little OT, but Ted Williams had a career OPS of 1.116, career OPS+ of 191 and a career OBP .482.

What the shit. Those are video game numbers, and that was for Ted's entire career. It is even more impressive when you consider that Ted missed years off of his prime, not his decline.

Terrible leadership qualities though.
 
Only roiders I genuinely have a problem with are Canseco for being a snitch and Braun for trying to ruin the life of some poor lab worker when he got caught
And Clemens for taking that shit all the way to Congress because of a hissy fit. Just say you did it or even be elusive with it the way others have and move on.

But Braun was undoubtedly the worst.

But he loved him some Moxie! :laugh:

Clemens handled it bad too, and he is a douche. I don’t like him, but not because of roids, and Piazza will always be a candy ass in my eyes for not charging the mound when Clemens threw that piece of a broken bat at him. With a malicious action like that, one of them needed to leave with a whipped ass
 


Getting mad about a strike being called a strike and then nearly hitting two teammates with a bat while you destroy the bullpen phone is great leadership, not roid rage

Clemens only threw that bat b/c he was tired of Piazza owning him, lmao

that and ROID RAGE

"i thought it was the ball!"

but yeah, Clemens wanted NO piece of Piazza

You’d think a roided up Texan that was cheating on his wife with pop Country divas would be down to brawl with a rich kid.
