Reggie Jackson, a shirttail cousin of the embattled juicer Barry Bonds, give us his opinion on baseball 'roiders introduced into the Cooperstown Hall of Fame.
There is plenty of wiggle room in Jackson's statement of make excuses for Cousin Barry. However, it must gall the veterans to see the steroid-enhanced stats put up by the McGwires and Bonds of the recent baseball past. To Bloomberg:
Reggie Jackson, a two-time World Series most
valuable player, said there's no room in baseball's Hall of Fame for
those who have used steroids.
"It bothers me," Jackson, 63, said in an interview with Bloomberg
Television. "A lot of Hall of Famers are very offended by this. I am
starting to get affected and I am hoping that those guys that get
caught don't get into the Hall of Fame." Jackson, who played for the
New York Yankees from 1977 to 1981 and now serves as a special adviser
to the team, also said he misses the old Yankee Stadium. The Yankees
moved from the ballpark that was home to 26 World Series championship
teams, including two of his own, to their new venue across the street.
"I never really saw the new stadium when they were building it," Jackson said. "I hung out at the old one. I had a difficult time leaving it. The last day I went out with a couple of friends and we walked around the stadium and I sat in the center field block with the fans and others and got a little teary-eyed."
Jackson, known as Mr. October after making history at the stadium as the only Major League Baseball player to hit three home runs in a World Series game, said he bought his old locker and the Yankee Stadium sign that was on top of the ballpark.
Interesting that Jackson has reversed his stance on 'roids to a degree...to the degree that he supported Cousin Barry in the past.
Reggie is a true legend. It's not fair to have people who use drugs pass him on the list. He deserves to be at his rightful rank!

Reggie is certainly a true legend and will always speak his mind. If he were playing today, I believe many would suspect him of steroid use.

Reggie played football and then moved on to baseball during his college days at ASU and his HOF MLB career lasted from 1967 - 1987. High school athletes, primarily football players, in Texas were on 'roids as early as the mid 1970's.
Something tells me that the high schoolers were behind, not ahead, of the NFL & MLB!

Hi, I just wanted to say how much I like your blog. Sometimes it is bothering to get into a place where bloggers only got one thing to say, so their posts are almost a continuous and unstoppable deja vu! It's good to have variety and this is pretty much what brings me here over and over again.

Reggie will be the next big piece of news once Jose Cansenco is out of money and throws another ex-major leaguer under the bus. He has already said that someone in the Hall did steriods and his time with Reggie in the gym as a young A's player speaks volumes. I think Jose will link Reggie exclusively to his steriod activity.
