Sour grapes Harmon! The level of play in this era far far exceeds what happened in the days of Mantle etc.
The Mick probably never even heard of a wicked lefty throwing splittys at him in the late innings…they had no technical closers….starters grunted their sorry arms deep into most games…the game has passed by those old timers.
So Manny took PED….who cares! Probably more than less, also have! All I care about are the great plays and I could give a rip as to what enhancement these moron players pump into their bodys! If a guy wants to make it big for a handful of years at the risk of his pecker falling off, so be it…Just play ball! (and let the market decide how much you get paid) until you cannot make the team anymore..Quit crying Killebrew and all the rest of those old sanctimonious oldtimers!

Im sure back in Mickey Mantles day they cheated too.
( watch Ken Burns Baseball documentary , it told you how they cheated)

It was just the four newspaper writers that covered Mickey at that time were wined and dined and had 100% access to the players,
you would be stupid to to lose your job, your jobs access, your trust with the players free food ( that the writer couldn’t afford to buy for themselves) just to tell the truth about what the player was doing in the clubhouse and after the game and what he did to cheat.

every generation of baseball had cheaters
from HGH steroids to pine tar to cork bats to crooked umps to gambling by players, managers and owners, to not letting some minorities play that weremore skilled in the league based on race to sharpening spikes to the black sox to the cutting base’s scandal to foreign substances on the ball, to bats fiiled with superballs to urethane core bats to signal stealing to faking catches to ringers wearing duplicate jerseys.

Yeah Mannys the only one who cheated
this sports is built on cheaters
enjoy it for what it is entertainment

Who really cares anymore about pro baseball, b-ball, and especially football except losers with no real life or media guys like Brooks who make a living following these creeps?

They should only get credit when they have earned and deserve it. And not gone out of their way to circumvent the rules. It’s a thing you clearly don’t understand: it’s called respect.

Who cares?
Only baseball players care about list and stats,
And we all know old baseball players are the most notorious chapped ass haters in the world,
The mind set of an old time baseball player is….Nobody after the generation in which I played should ever get credit for doing anything.

hey harmon, go away now.

This is not even a very good rationalization of Manny Ramirez and other PED users.

And to imply Mantle used amphetamines like you did here was wrong (and you did….re-read what you wrote). No proof on Mantle, whereas Manny is a proven cheater. It’s documented.

If anything, substances that Mantle used/abused cut short his career and curtailed his performance on the field.

Brooks,

This is the worst post I’ve ever read on your site. Adam J needs to go!

Are you kidding me? You call Killebrew foolish because he rips a known cheater. Then you compare Greenies to HGH and Steroids. Wow! If I were to use the word “foolish” in referencing this post….I think I’d use it to describe the poster.
