stncttr908 Veteran Posted November 30, 2004 Veteran Share Posted November 30, 2004 What a waste of a spot on the ballot. I think this article sums up my points. Even as a loyal Mets fan who enjoyed his best years as one (or at least hearing about them from my dad and older brother), this is a joke. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news;_ylc=X3oD...ov=ap&type=lgns Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/250896-strawberry-makes-it-onto-hof-ballot/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceDogg Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Ok, I'm not much into baseball anymore. I use to watch it years ago, but I thought he was good. Did he do something wrong? Sorry if it seems like a dumb question. I probably just forgotten.

.... Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Read the article, it outlines his off field drug problems that rival Steve Howe. Basically over the span of his career his numbers don't even compare to the most base HOFer. He's basically on the ballot due to His incredible talent, not what he actually did.

IceDogg Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Ok, my fault, I assumed the article wouldn't have that stuff in it. sorry bout that. but to anyone else that reads this thread here is part of what the article says. -- Arrests on allegations of wife beating;-- A guilty plea on a federal tax evasion charge; -- Three suspensions from baseball for cocaine-related problems; -- Arrests for allegedly failing to make child support payments; -- A no-contest plea on charges of cocaine possession and soliciting a prostitute; -- A year's probation for causing a traffic accident while under the influence of painkillers; -- An arrest for leaving a drug treatment center; -- An arrest for violating probation; -- Another arrest for breaking rules at a drug treatment center. Thanks BOOG.. sorry I assumed before I read. :blush: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/250896-strawberry-makes-it-onto-hof-ballot/#findComment-585013925 Share on other sites More sharing options...

threetonesun Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 It's a ploy to get Rose in. They vote in Strawberry, people think, "this can't get any worse" sneak Rose in during the outrage.

EmuZombie Veteran Posted December 1, 2004 Veteran Share Posted December 1, 2004 I read this article before it was posted here, but... doesn't it seem a little biased to anyone? It's like the author of it had a huge grudge against him, so much so it made it very unprofessional. But I do agree, it's a joke, and he brought nothing but shame to the game of baseball. There was a time when players were roll models for kids.... oh well...
