How do you get to 3,000 hits?
How do you get to 3,000 games played, 3,000 strikeouts, 300 wins?
The things that we laud, things that are directly tied to first ballot Hall of Fame-ness.
Well, if you show up every single day when you have the flu, when you probably normally wouldn't, when you're injured,
for me why are we why are we harping so much on the steroid era when there were tools that were used in the past to show up every single day so you know i i think that we're we're we're moving the goalposts they're still using amphetamines i'm not sure on that i'm not sure on that well i don't i don't know which ones i don't know well there's greenies and there's reds and there's you know
I thought they were M&Ms.
I don't think they're still using it.
With the drug testing since about the early 2000s, especially since 2000...

i i have a thing against the gambling thing personally but that was as a manager though joey i can't take away what he did in his undergraduate degree yeah i don't know enough about the i don't know i and i say this genuinely i don't know enough about the the reef at least the evidence but it's the very first thing
that you when you walk into a major major league clubhouse and you know this the very first thing you see walking into a major league clubhouse isn't isn't rule number one don't take steroids rule number one don't don't embarrass yourself politically publicly right rule number one don't use amphetamines no no it's gambling and there's an entire it couldn't be bigger it's like that we have nothing uniform in baseball aside from this gambling rule and it started with the black socks
Back in the early 20th century.
And it is crucial, crucial that our sport is viewed as neutral.
And from my perspective, I don't have a vote.
