THE HALL OF FAME IS DEAD!

The news from yesterday has me sick. As soon as I saw the news I texted Casey because I was practically spitting bullets. I've had a few people tell me to get over it and stop talking about it but....I'm not gonna.

In case you didn't catch up on the baseball headlines yesterday Carlos Beltran was voted into the Hall of Fame. The sign stealing legend and head schemer of the 2017 Astros cheating scandal will become part of baseball's greatest honor.....let that sink in for a minute.

The man with no honor and integrity will forever be enshrined amongst the greatest names in the game. He's a disgrace to those who played the game with honor and passion like Derek Jeter. Jeter IS a hall of famer, Beltran is a horrible mistake with no honor. Will the Hall of Fame will ever be seen as a legitimate institution ever again? It's a fair question.

Beltran disgraced the game and should be shunned from baseball history just like Pete Rose was. Pete Rose, cheated OFF of the field and was banned from the sport and WAS ineligible for Hall of Fame consideration until May of 2025. He was made an example of. Nothing Rose did impacted the game during his playing time. He paid a high price that Beltran will never pay.

And you can't talk about scandals without talking about Shoeless Joe Jackson. He was banned from baseball in 1921 for his involvement in the "Black Sox Scandal," after he and some teammates conspired with gamblers to intentionally lose the 1919 World Series. He was permanently banned by newly appointed MLB Commissioner, Kenesaw Mountain Landis, to preserve the integrity of the game.....imagine that. Jackson cheated as a player and was held accountable. This is not the world we live in anymore.

However here we are a century later and Beltran cheated ON the field and has no consequences. He wasn't banned, weak pansy Rob Manfred protected him! The integrity that previous MLB commissioners fought to preserve has vanished. Two years after the scandal, Beltran was rewarded with a manager job for the Mets and just over two months later is removed from that role....all thanks to his involvement in the cheating scandal. He wasn't honorable enough to manager, but now he is honored by being inducted into the Hall of Fame? It's asinine.

So now that the writers have voted Beltran in, they have set a precedence that integrity doesn't matter. Honor can be lost and you can still be rewarded with a place in baseball history. Now let's just add Manny Ramirez, Jose Canseco and Alex Rodriguez to the inductee list! I don't care WHAT form of cheating it is. I don't care if you think it's not the same....it's still a disgrace to the game. One disgrace is not "less" than another. Greats belong in the Hall of Fame, not just great stats but also great stewards of the game itself and with good character.

So Beltran may be feeling himself right now. He may be standing tall but being in the hall doesn't erase history, and Beltran will always be known as the architect of a massive and blatant cheating scheme. He brought disgrace to the game and that should NOT be rewarded for that by getting a place amongst the true greats of this game. 

That's just my two cents. Agree with it or not, it doesn't matter to me. Integrity over anything else.....period.
The Hall of Fame is now tainted. It is DEAD. I will never look at it the same again.

PETE ROSE IS ELIGIBLE, BUT WILL THE WRITERS DO THE RIGHT THING?

The first ballplayer I ever saw live was Pete Rose. Lexington, Kentucky, mid-1970s. I was just a kid, but even then, I knew I was watching something special — the guy was a machine. Not a “launch angle” or “exit velocity” machine like today’s stat-sheet nerds. The dude was full-throttle, headfirst-sliding, never-met-a-fastball-he-didn’t-like hit machine. And he just kept going.

To me, that mattered more than anything else. Not the headlines. Not the scandals. Not the whispers and bans. Just a guy who played like the game owed him nothing, and he was going to outwork it anyway.

So, when people wring their hands over what Pete did off the field — the gambling, the ban, the puritanical pearl-clutching — I’ve always thought: Who cares? Not me. Play hard, play honest between the lines — that’s baseball. The rest is just noise.

But then, irony rears its roided-out head. You’ve got the steroid-era guys — Bonds, Clemens, McGwire — who, yes, juiced to hit harder, throw faster, recover quicker… you know, for the actual game. The part we judge them on for the Hall of Fame and the MLB let them play. In fact, they were in on it because baseball was dying after the 1994 strike and we needed baseball back, after all. But yet, the writers hold a moral ground, and they get iced out. The same moral guardians of the Hall let Harold Baines stroll in — a solid player, sure, but let’s not pretend he was a generational talent — while holding back titans of the sport because they broke the "unwritten rules."

Here's the kicker: MLB never even banned those steroid guys. But the BBWAA blackballed them anyway. The writers have taken it upon themselves to be the ethical gatekeepers of the game, when maybe they should just be the historians. Because whether we like it or not, history happened.

And now, we’ve got this strange, sad, cosmic joke. Rob Manfred, in his infinite PR-savvy wisdom, finally removes Pete Rose from the permanently ineligible list — but only after Pete dies. Dead men, it turns out, no longer threaten the "integrity of the game."

"Obviously, a person no longer with us cannot represent a threat to the integrity of the game," Manfred wrote. "Permanent ineligibility ends upon death." What a gesture. So meaningful. So… late.

Look, I’m grateful Pete is eligible now. That’s the right call. But it should’ve come while he could still appreciate it. The punishment was decades old. As far as I could see, he did his time. So, what did we get from Manfred? We got a delayed half-apology masquerading as a policy update.

Now it’s up to the writers. Again. They hold the pen, and the power, and maybe — just maybe — the conscience to finally do what’s right. Let Pete in. Let Shoeless Joe in. Both are eligible now. And while we're at it, let the steroid-era guys be considered on merit, not morality. They played the game. They broke records. They defined eras. That’s the job.

Stop pretending the Hall of Fame is a shrine to virtue. It’s not. It never was. It’s a museum of greatness — flawed, complicated, brilliant greatness. And no one embodied that better than Pete Rose.

So thanks, Pete. For playing your guts out. For being the first player I ever saw. For being the greatest I ever saw. They might’ve buried your legacy under bureaucracy and self-righteousness, but now, maybe, they’ll finally let it breathe.

Manfred got it technically right. But he missed the moment. The human moment. Again.

BIG CHANGES TO FIELD OF DREAMS GAME THIS SUMMER

"Is this heaven?" asked "Shoeless" Joe Jackson
"No.....it's Iowa" said Ray Kinsella
This is one of my favorite lines from the movie Field of Dreams.

And heaven for many of us was going to be watching the Yankees at the Field of Dreams game next month but it sounds like that plan has changed. The Des Moines Register was the first to break the story, you can read it HERE. Don't fret baseball fans, the game isn't completely cancelled as of now. Things can change quickly as Coronavirus cases continue to spike across the country, but as of now the game is still on....but the Yankees won't be playing in it.

Sad but true, thanks to the creative schedule for the 2020 season the St. Louis Cardinals will now play the Chicago White Sox instead of the Yankees. Now that the regular season is shortened to 60 games and teams are limited regional opponents in each league a match up between the White Sox and Yankees was no longer possible.

Field of Dreams is one of my favorite baseball movies, in fact I think I can recite most of it word-for-word. I really would've have liked to watch the White Sox and Yankees play, and I am bummed about it but considering all of the delays with baseball this season I will just be happy to see it happen. Now I guess we stay more authentic to the movie and we watch two mid-west teams battle it out.

The most important thing here is that the game happens. We NEED this game just like we need our baseball season. As of yesterday, even with the spike in Coronavirus cases in parts of the country the game is still scheduled to happen. The temporary 8,000-seat stadium is in Dyersville, Iowa, about 200 miles west of Chicago adjacent to where the movie was filmed. This would be the first major league game ever played in Iowa. It is unclear if any fans will be able to attend but the game will be nationally televised on Fox. Even if we can't see it in person I guess watching on tv is better than nothing.

I'm bummed that the Yankees won't be playing, but I am still going to tune in and watch it. A real game playing on a cornfield just like in the movie....I can already picture it in my head. It gets me excited even if the Yankees aren't playing anymore.

I hope the game still happens despite all the Coronavirus spikes happening. I am going to remain optimistic. Since I can't watch the game right now....I think I will go watch the movie right now instead.

Remember: "If you build it, they will come."

ASTROS KING CHEATER AVOIDS QUESTIONS FURTHER CONFIRMING WRONGDOING

Jim Crane, the owner of the Houston Astros just made a pretty profound statement. No, he didn't speak to reporters about the sign stealing scandal.  The statement he made was to avoid it entirely.  You know what that makes him? The King of these Cheating Loser Astros.

Pathetic.

The New York Post has this:

"About 20 bigwigs from major-league teams wore orange vests and hard hats here in a hotel lobby Wednesday morning, preparing for their field trip to the Rangers’ new ballpark, Globe Life Field, next door. Astros owner Jim Crane didn’t ask to keep his hard hat. He might live to regret that.

Crane, encountering a small group of reporters Wednesday, politely declined to take questions. 

“If you want to talk about baseball, I’ll talk about baseball,” he said. “What else do you want to talk about? Any other issues…” 

At that juncture, an off-duty police officer working for the hotel escorted Crane out of the scrum."

Cheater. Avoider. Loser.

The Astros are in serious trouble.

Another day has gone by and not a single member of the Astros organization has denied or defended any of their actions. This means guilt folks.  And the fact that Head Loser Crane can't address the media only means one thing to me... it started at the top. He's in on it folks or knows for a fact that it happened.

All these guys need to be wiped out of the Astros front office.  Heads need to roll in that Astros clubhouse.

Firings need to happen on the Astros coaching staff. The stripping of the 2017 World Series Championship MUST happen... and as far as banning the players of the Houston Astros from baseball for life... I'd be OK with that too.

They did it to Shoeless Joe Jackson. They did it to Pete Rose.  This Astros sign stealing scandal is a MAJOR VIOLATION OF MLB RULES.

I think it was Matt Silverman, Rays President who said it best:

“We don’t cheat... Nothing will change that.”

You cannot say that about the Houston Astros.

ARE YOU READY FOR THE YANKEES AT FIELD OF DREAMS?

They will come, Ray. They will come.

What's the most amazing thing you've ever heard of? How about the New York Yankees at the Field of Dreams in Iowa.  OH... I am there bitches!

A quick note, and I know many of you already know... next season the Yankees will be playing the White Sox at Field of Dreams. But here are some of the important details. NPR writes:

"If they appear, "Shoeless" Joe Jackson and Archibald "Moonlight" Graham will only be there in spirit. But for one night, big leaguers will play baseball at the Iowa farm that was made famous in the beloved film Field of Dreams. 

The New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox will face off at the Dyersville, Iowa, farm next August, Major League Baseball announced Thursday. The game will count as part of the regular season — starting a three-game series between the Yankees and White Sox. 

The two teams will then have one day off as they travel to Chicago to finish out the series. The game is slated for the night of Aug. 13, 2020 — three decades after Field of Dreams debuted in 1989. But Aaron Judge and his fellow MLB stars won't be playing on the same diamond that was created for the Kevin Costner movie. Instead, they'll play at a temporary 8,000-seat ballpark."

And lets be honest... it's just a game once they get started, but damn, what an amazing thing to see and a lot of fun for the fans and the players!  If there's a way... I want to go for sure.

DUMBEST. PLAYER. EVER.

There have been dumb players in our lifetime and in baseball history.  Some may say that Alex Rodriguez was pretty dumb, lying on ESPN that he was a changed man only to be caught using PEDs and suspended for a full season in 2014.

Some may say Shoeless Joe Jackson and Pete Rose were dumb. After all, gambling is an addiction, but some see it as greed.

But listen, I think if you're 26 years old and a pro baseball player, and you've read about and lived through the steroid era, and you know there are strict rules against PEDs, and you're trying to make it in the Bigs, and you STILL USE and get caught more than once, you gotta be the dumbest player ever.  And that's what Jenrry Mejia is.  Dumb.  He's just dumb. Dumb, DUMB, DUMB, DUMB, DUMB, DUMB, DUMB, DUMMY.  My opinion of course.

Ironically, when Mejia was previously caught, we wrote YOU BIG DUMMY! 

That was in July.  It's astonishing to me that players still use.  What's worse is Mejia is now banned permanently. That's right... LIFE!

Breaking right now, we can report that Mejia tested positive for Boldenone. Boldenone is considered an "old school" PED. Clearly he was looking for something to help him and being DUMB, he doesn't even know what the hell he's taking and hoping something from yesteryear would fly under the radar. Wrong. Here's an idea... go squeaky clean, we'll all respect you more!

This is now the third offense against Mejia, and that means his life in baseball is officially over.  He's banned forever.



The New York Post writes: "Mejia is allowed to apply for reinstatement from the lifetime ban in one year, but must miss a minimum of two years."

But let's face it... that's a long time to think about how foolish you were and who the hell knows if this guy would ever even try to be reinstated. Plus, who trusts the dude now? Not me.

I just can't believe it. You work your entire life to become a Major league ball player, any boys dream.  Mejia had a ton of potential, the Mets loved him and they were looking forward to him getting back on the hill for them, and he slaps them in the balls with this. 

You know what? 3 strikes and you're out, pardon the pun.  As Paulie said to Henry Hill after Henry lied to him and asked for a couple bucks to get back on his feet...

"Now I gotta turn my back on ya."

Later Bitch. Hope it was worth it.

A LOT OF PEDs BITCH SLAPPING GOING ON

Since the "steroid era" of the 1990's with home run numbers skyrocketing, there has been a heated debate about whether players accused, or proven guilty, of steroid use should be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. This year was no exception and with Social Media growing in popularity daily, shots are fired much easier!

Roy Halladay tweeted on Wednesday morning his very strong opinion on the matter, taking a shot at Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds:

When you use PEDs you admit your not good enough to compete fairly! Our nations past time should have higher standards! No Clemens no Bonds!

— Roy Halladay (@RoyHalladay) January 6, 2016

Roger Clemens did not take the shot lightly and even fired back a shot at Roy Halladay, accusing Halladay of using amphetamines by a "strength coach".

Both Clemens and all-time home run leader, Barry Bonds, have had plenty of accusations and have vehemently denied the allegations. However, most of us baseball fans believe that they, along with plenty of other players, former and current, have taken banned substances in order to further their career and earn another payday.

Not everyone believes that Clemens and Bonds should not be in the Hall of Fame though.  BYB writer Alexis Garcia has been at the forefront of this whole conversation even suggesting that it's time to put Bonds and Clemens in Cooperstown.  Alexis wrote in BONDS & CLEMENS DESERVE COOPERSTOWN,  

"I really don’t care that Bonds and Clemens doped. Or that they are Hall of Fame level a-holes. It may seem wrong today, but it’s hard for me to justify punishing them for taking part in an action that the MLB and its fan base all but ignored in the late 90s when the game was struggling to regain relevance after the damaging 1994 strike."

 Garcia was even back by FOX Sports guy Jon Morosi:

Do Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens deserve to be in the MLB Hall Of Fame? Jon Morosi thinks so.
Posted by FOX Sports Live on Tuesday, January 5, 2016

Very interesting take, but I personally disagree.  For me, when it comes to Cooperstown, integrity has to come first. If Shoeless Joe Jackson was banned for life due to knowledge of a scheme, without even participating, and Pete Rose, the all-time hits leader, is banned for life for betting on baseball, why should a player with known or very strong suspected ties to PED use be elected in the HOF? I have to agree with Halladay on this one.

There is no doubt that by stats alone, Bonds, Clemens, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, and soon Alex Rodriguez, among others, certainly are deserving of enough votes to be elected. They would have likely produced stats that earned them enough votes without the alleged PED use, but with the asterisk next to their accomplishments that many people bring up, it's going to be very difficult for most of these players to earn enough votes to be elected.

When it's all said and done, will either of these players, or any of the other of the alleged or proven, PED users get in? It's tough to say. I wouldn't necessarily be surprised either way, but if you broke the rules in a way that gave you an unfair advantage, should you be allowed to be enshrined amongst the best of the best? Not on my watch.

Someone had to say it Roy. I'm with you.

PETE ROSE IS NO WORSE THAN THE OTHERS

Early last week, two of our terrific BYB writers wrote pieces about Pete Rose.  Ike Dimitriadis put together a piece titled MANFRED REACHES ONLY JUSTIFIABLE DECISION ON PETE ROSE – “NO” and Steve Skinner wrote ROSE TO THE HALL IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. Read them both, they are great.

Ike is not a fan of having Rose in the Hall of Fame.  Skinner, like me, has a childhood hero in Rose, and believes he should be there... but understands Manfred's decision. Here's the quote that resonated with me in Steve's piece: "Baseball’s immortals are an incomplete group without him."

I'm about to go further...

I like Rob Manfred as Commissioner.  Then again, I like anyone that isn't Bud Selig as Commissioner.  But yes, I like Manfred.  He's willing to look at everything.  He's willing to make decisions and perhaps change things in a pretty stale sport right now. But I take issue with his decision to not lift Pete Rose's ban, even though Rose has admitted to still gambling on sports.  Take a seat for this one...

Look, I find it interesting how many folks out there will look at gambling, and immediately say, "Well, gambling is an addiction, like drugs or alcohol. Folks that gamble uncontrollably are sick."  And yes, I understand, and accept that assessment. There is truth to this you know. 

But then why, when someone like Pete Rose CLEARLY needs "help", are we turning our back on the guy?  We help drug addicts, alcoholics. Hell, there were cocaine users in the 80's on the Pittsburgh Pirates.  Remember Dave Parker?  That dude continued to play baseball after doing coke and weed. The Expos Tim Raines? 

He used to slide head first into bases so he wouldn't bust vials of cocaine in his back pocket. Admitted and documented. The late Tommy Hanson just died of cocaine and alcohol ingestion this year. Who knows if he was an addict, but he was a user, this is a fact.  

The plain fact is, if gambling is so bad, then why do we look at Pete Rose and just say, "Well, the guy needs to just stay away from baseball. He's a cancer, he's not getting help, he's bad news. He tarnished the game."  Yet, drug addicts, or folks like Yovani Gallardo can drive drunk, yet, he's about to sign a contract with the Astros or Orioles to continue his career, (read DRUNK DRIVING DOESN'T MATTER TO MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL for my perspective on that). Life goes on for every other addict, but Pete Rose is blackballed.

And PED users, yes, PED USERS can continue to use, disappear for their suspension, and come back with a clean slate like nothing happened.  All of that is OK, but an addicted gambler is banned for life, regardless of the incredible play he demonstrated on the field. Regardless of him being the all-time hits leader.

Sure, you can sit on your high horse like you're the moral authority and tell me that PEDs users and addicted gamblers are not the same, and I'm here to tell you that you're dead wrong.   Don't debate me on this, it's my opinion, I won't be swayed, and I'm gonna be honest with you, I'm tired of hearing your  side on this.

Oh yeah, and how's this to bring your blood to a boil. If you're going to lump Shoeless Joe Jackson and 7 other men together with Pete Rose for 2 different types of gambling situations, then you sure as hell better crack down on drug use, public drunkenness, and PEDs use as well.  Sorry to be the tight ass of all tight asses... but I'm sick and tired of Rose being lumped in with the Black Sox scandal, all because "gambling" is the word that's used for both. I kind of find it silly. Here's why...

In the 1919 World Series, the Chicago White Sox lost to the Cincinnati Reds, and eight White Sox players, Shoeless Joe Jackson being one of them, were accused of losing the Series intentionally.  That's because it was suggested that the games were lost in exchange for gambling money. They were later banned from baseball because of it. Clearly it was a group decision, an idea conspired and executed by all, and so, it was strategic and with that, even though they were acquitted in court, they were still banned from the game for life.  Jackson had an amazing career average before that, and so, he tarnished his career because he and 7 others work together to "throw" the series.

I gotta tell you something, that's not what Pete Rose did.  It's just not.   Plus, if you go through the Dowd Report, it was revealed that he gambled on his own team, and it wasn't to lose. It was to win.  As Pete Rose admitted in 2007:

"I bet on my team every night... I bet on my team to win every night because I love my team, I believe in my team... I did everything in my power every night to win that game."

And so, I ask you, isn't that the basis for playing the game? To win? And furthermore, sure, he admitted it, he's a liar, but he's also an addict and that goes back to my original point. The man's sick, but he's banned... Coke heads? They can get help and come back.  PEDs users are in the clear after a suspension.  Pete Rose is a sick man, but played amazing baseball and is the All-Time hits leader. He bet for his team to win, not LOSE, win... but he gets lumped in with a group of players that intentionally threw a series in 1919.  I'm sorry, I don't get it.

More over, whatever happened to that lunatic John Dowd, who recently falsely accused Rose of having "under age girls" in the clubhouse, IN THE 80'S. Really? Nothing happened with that story Mr. Dowd, and that's because I think the real person we should ban from any baseball type activities is Dowd who clearly has an axe to grind against Rose. The dude's old by now, and biased by the way. Sure, Rose may not be a saint, but false accusations and piling on doesn't exactly offer Dowd as a respected investigator anymore... it's over pal.

Pete Rose is not someone who conspired to sabotage his baseball team.  He loves the Reds. He loved Marge Schott and sure, while siding with a woman like Schott isn't exactly great for a man's reputation knowing the woman she was, he to this day wears his Reds hat proud.  Dowd and Major League baseball have this "thing" about gambling and Rose and have been riding this guy for years based on an old rule.  

The irony is, things are changing. You know how I know? Because MLB is a major investor with Draft Kings and Fan Duel, you know, Internet gambling.  Think about that for a second.  There's no double standard here? Are you joking?  

Pete Rose belongs in the Hall of Fame for his amazing play, as well as he being the All-time hit leader. Does Rose still gamble? He's admitted it, and I remember reading and hearing he was years after.  Has Rose tried to get help? Probably. Why wouldn't he? If people who love him want to help him and he wants to help himself, why the hell wouldn't he?  More importantly, how about MLB do what they do for all their "addicts" and offenders... baby them.  Let the rich player pay the fine for their addiction or bad behavior... and make sure they're suspended, but then... coddle them, and bring them back to the game like so many of the past.  

And the most important question... Has Rose fell off the wagon and continued to gamble? Most definitely. But after everything I told you reading this old rule in the MLB manual needs to somehow be updated. It should be about a player's ability to play the game, not betting after he played, EVEN AS A MANAGER, WHO BET FOR HIS TEAM TO WIN.

MLB Rule 21. Misconduct.
(d) BETTING ON BALL GAMES. Any player, umpire, or club official or employee, who shall bet any sum whatsoever upon any baseball game in connection with which the bettor has no duty to perform shall be declared ineligible for one year.

Any player, umpire, or club or league official or employee, who shall bet any sum whatsoever upon any baseball game in connection with which the bettor has a duty to perform shall be declared permanently ineligible.

I'm not sure what any of this has to do with his playing days. Pete Rose is the all time hits leader.  They need to do the right thing.

Pete Rose did not conspire with the likes of Eric Davis, Barry Larkin, Tracy Jones, Tom Browning, John Franco and Buddy Bell. He's NOT Shoeless Joe Jackson.  He's also sick with a bad, bad addiction for gambling.  Not cocaine, or alcohol... gambling, and while Major League Baseball doesn't seem to chalk this up as a sickness... it should.  Oh, and it should also cut investment opportunities with Internet gambling sites.  Sites where folks GAMBLE to make money... and MLB collects on that.  What a load of crap. What a contradiction.

Pete Rose belongs in the Hall. It's my opinion.  I will not debate anyone on this issue.  I will not return comments after this op-ed posts... that's because you'll never change my mind and I won't change yours.  Pete Rose is my childhood idol and introduced me to the game of baseball.

Think about how strange it is, that the All-Time Hits leader with one of the most important records in baseball is not in the Baseball Hall of Fame.  Something stinks in baseball, and trust me, it ain't Pete Rose.

Finally, let me say this... I do not gamble. I am not an addict.  I don't dabble in drugs or alcohol to get loaded in any way.  I do however understand what addiction is.  It's a brutal cycle and needs to be handled, not ignored.  

Pete Rose gave everything he had on the field to become one of the best, hardest working baseball players ever.  He gave it because he wanted to do the best he could for his employers, the Reds and MLB.  

Now the MLB just walks away from him?  Really?
