Yeah I think it was. its funny that the most ludacris things that you have heard are the ones that seem to be true(i.e. Canseco shooting roids up Raffy's ass)

Everyone dismissed him as being full of [censored] since he was on coke. Maybe he telling the truth after all.

i think he said 50%. everybody said he was full of [censored] because 50% of the league is pitchers and pitchers definately aren't on steroids. that would mean that everybody else was.
whoops. |

So Michael Kay (sp?) out here in NYC said some interesting things. He said there was one player in each league who tested positive, and that one was a lock for the Hall of Fame and one was a potential hall of famer (younger?).
He also said that one would shock, crush, and dissapoint you, and that one (maybe the same one) would bring baseball to its knees.
Maybe Sloops has the exact quote, being a NY fan. . .
Anyway, I might guess a yankee for one, as he is a yankee announcer and dissapointment and crushing of the fans, his listeners, may mean a yankee (but then again, that could get him in [censored] for starting a rumor, so maybe not. . .).
Also, who, if tested positive, would bring baseball to its knees? I can only think of a few guys: Clemens, for sure; arod would do it; jeter would do it (though I find this unbelievable). Anyone else? Nobody would care about Manny or even Pujols that much, i don' think. It has to be a huge, national player of great respect. ???
Anybody else hear about this?

Jeter would kill baseball. I hate the [censored]er for all his little faggy mannerisms (and maybe because of his jersey  ), but he is the face of clean baseball. It would be another Kobe.
One rumor I heard that could be either the HOF lock or the potentional HOF was Pujols.
edit: doh....reading back on this thread, i think that rumor was from here  |

kinch: "He said there was one player in each league who tested positive, and that one was a lock for the Hall of Fame and one was a potential hall of famer (younger?)."
When did Kay report this? Today? I missed it completely.
"He also said that one would shock, crush, and dissapoint you, and that one (maybe the same one) would bring baseball to its knees."
I think everyone's leaning towards Pujols as the younger (potential) Hall of Famer .. if you look at the NL right now, what other hitter (or pitcher for that matter) falls into this category? As in, young, building a HOF resume, but not quite there yet .. I can't think of anyone else.
If the 'young' HOF'er was the AL'er, it might be Tejada or Vlad ..
And if its Pujols in the NL, that would make the 'lock' HOF'er and American Leaguer. How many lock HOF'ers do we have in the AL right now?
Jeter, Rivera, A-Rod, Randy Johnson, ManRam, Sosa, Palmeiro (doesn't apply), & Pudge Rodriguez.
If the 'lock' HOF'er is a National Leaguer, we have: Clemens, Maddux, Piazza, Griffey, or Bonds.
I can't think of anymore 'locks' right now (off the top of my head).
