    Well, Davis is doing his part to cool down the PED whispers. He hasn’t hit much of anything since the All-Star break …

    The legit record? In a 162 game season, not the real record – Ruth’s.

    Remember when Pete Rose was the most evil thing to happen to baseball? Would he even get a passing glance today?

    Differences between 1960 and 1961: Two new teams meant lousy pitching; one of the new ballparks was a bandbox that you or I could have hit homers out in; Maris had Mantle batting ahead of him, so pitchers had to choose their poison; they didn’t have video scouting so they didn’t know how to pitch Maris.

    Also remember that there were no PEDs back in the olden days.

    A-rod might be the next to get a lifetime ban although I think he’s desperately trying to work out some kind of plea bargain. It was kind of funny how quickly Braun’s former defenders turned against him…….

    Rose was a manager when he bet on games. How do you know the games were not affected by his game day decisions? He deserves the ban.
