Stanton knocks wives out the park too
The way my wife reacts when Stanton even gets mentioned cracks me up. She's gets serious and gotta shift on whatever she's sitting , deep breath, tramp smile and a giggle. Cody's gonna hate it here

Cubs publicly reuniting with slugger Sammy Sosa at fan convention after he releases apology statement
Legendary Chicago Cubs slugger Sammy Sosa is being welcomed back by his former team following a long period of estrangement.
Sosa, who hit 545 home runs for the Cubs (which still stands as the club record), released an apology letter on Thursday regarding his alleged past use of performance-enhancing drugs.
"I left it all on the field for the Cubs and Cubs fans because I wanted to win and make the fans happy. I loved to see the fans at Wrigley in the Right Field Bleachers every home game. I understand why some players in my era don't always get the recognition that our stats deserve. There were times I did whatever I could to recover from injuries in an effort to keep my strength up to perform over 162 games. I never broke any laws, but in hindsight I made mistakes and I apologize. We accomplished great things as a team, and I worked extremely hard in the batting cage to become a great hitter. Cubs' fans are the best in the world, and I hope that fans, the Cubs and I can all come together again and move forward. We can't change the past, but the future is bright. In my heart, I have always been a Cub and I can't wait to see Cubs fans again."
In response to that apology letter, team owner Tom Ricketts released a statement thanking Sosa for his apology and inviting him to the 2025 Cubs Convention, which takes place in January, for the first time.

people wanna kill all these steroid guys for eternity like if they had a chance to double their pay at work doing something grimy they'd pass it up
we all make mistakes, these steroid guys shouldn't have to pay for life for a bad decision they made. maybe a 25 yr ban , hopefully they don't die and then all is forgiven. the record books is where it gets hairy , leave the stats out or leave em in with a *
it really sucks how they made Pete Rose suffer and beg to be in, nothing meant more and the man dies
guys like Bonds, Arod, Clemens were all most likely on their way to the hall before they even did roids. sucks that they have to pay for life when we enjoyed every second of what they did on the field ....

It's clear there was an era of baseball that was impacted by steroids. It should be completely fine to acknowledge it and honor those who were clearly better than everyone else in that era. A majority of players likely used, but with sports the cream of the crop always becomes evident, so it's hypocritical to not honor them but acknowledge those who weren't either caught, or caught again...

They cheated but so did everyone else. They weren’t getting an edge, they were keeping up.

Lots of reports from Bay Area folks that Rickey Henderson passed away. Not confirmed yet.

I'm a casual fan, but don't think Tucker is the Astros best player. Definitely not over Altuve or Alvarez.
Bregman has been pretty mediocre as a hitter in recent years too.
There's still hope honestly.
