Holy- he sounds EXACTLY like Napoleon Dynamite

For me Hammering Hank will always be the home run king in major league baseball. I watched Bonds from his early days in Pittsburgh to the end in San Francisco, and the man blew up in size including his head which is insane

When Canseco first cane out with that book, everyone named denied it and Canseco was called a kook and blackballed. He’s still treated that way to this day. Baseball did not want the truth out there. Completely complicit.

Is Napoleon Dynamite narrating this video?

"if you're not cheating...you're not trying"

Nice video. Very thorough.

Watching this makes me appreciate Griffey, Cal Ripken Junior, Tony Gwynn and a few others even more💯💯💯

Baseball is forever tainted. Nothing but cheaters.

Technically depending on how far you got back and what they were using... Using steroids may or may not have been cheating. Because the rules against steroids use were far from comprehensive. To say that the MLB was complicit in the steroid era is an understatement.

One thing people don’t realize about baseballs attitude towards the Pete Rose case. Yeah he never bet AGAINST his team. But as far as baseball is concerned; 1. Gambling is gambling and 2. what if he starts racking about a lot of loses and gets way in debt with these people. Not the people you want to be in debt with. Then, these people tell him that they’ll wipe his debt if he loses a few games. It’s fear of a snowball effect thing. Once you get involved in that shit with those people... It makes sense.

I liked this video. Pretty interesting look into the history of unscrupulous dealings within MLB. I hadn’t heard of the pre Black Sox scandal incidents.

McGwire took Andro which was approved by MLB, at that time. I am not saying he wasn't taking steroids, but if i am not mistaken it was never definitively proven. All I can remember is Canseco claiming McGwire took steroids. McGwire pleaded the 5th in front of Congress which is neither an admission or denial of guilt. He didn't rat out the rest of the players, remember what happens in the locker room stays in the locker room. MLB was dying in '98. MLB owes Sosa and McGwire for bringing it back, steroids or no steroids.

This guy deserves so many more subs 👏

Yankees sign steeling immediately before Astros and Red Sox, sticky stuff, not small exclusions.

I think the reason why the Astros didn't have the world series stripped is it wasn't just the astros or the red socks many other teams during a span of several years from 2015-to about when the scandal blew up at the end of 2019 many teams were sign stealing it just happened that the MLB pointed both the Astros and the red socks and the media latched on to the Astros. Even though there were other teams such as the Yankees which were doing it from 2015-2016

Good vid!

Gonna need an update with Tatis now

Fascinating video…Thinking of today, many in MLB are amazed by Ohtani’s share raw power,. Mike Trout said he had never ever seen power like it already in Ohtani’s Rookie year…and assuming Ohtani is clean…Shohei must be exceptionally powerful considering 60-70 HR guys may have been juiced…and Ohtani pitches too 😅😅😅🤪🤪🤪

0:56 If you saw Eight Men Out, this was the play where sportswriter Hugh Fullerton said, "I could have beaten that throw with my shoes tied together."

The most flagrant and deliberate slap to the face of ALL baseball fans ESPECIALLY our youth....#1 goes to Norm Cash. Won the AL batting crown in 1961 with a .361 ba. Months later proud Norm shows American kids, "How to cork your bat like the big league sluggers" in Boy's Life magazine. So much pride taught to win by cheating. What a message Norm. Btw , he barely hit his weight the rest of his career.

Joe Jackson is one of the best players of all time & did not cheat

Hal Chase, who you mentioned, was a notoriously dirty player. Many from his era mentioned him as one of the most talented of the era, but the numbers don’t bear that out.

Gosh, Napoleon Dynamite makes dang good baseball videos!

A rule isn't really a rule if its totally unenforced the way steroids was in the 90s. There was no testing, no oversight whatsoever and most importantly no social sanction or reputation damage by fans or media back then. I dont like judging people with standards that didn't exsist at the time

‘’These days it would be illegal as using electronics to steal signs is illegal.” Ooooh lol

Good video

Barry Bonds has 2 hall of fame careers, pre and post steroids. Also, never knew he was a great base runner. Only have memories of Milk Dud Head Barry.

In a sport where the all-time great hitters are reveared as greats for literally failing 6/10 times. It's not at all unreasonable to do anything to try and close that gap the pitcher inherently has.

Crazy to think that some of the wildest and most memorable times in baseball history we’re all from cheating… It’s really kind of sad…

Funny how everyone's number was 25 in steroid era

Babe Ruth cheated by bulking up on food. 😄😄😄😄😄😄

If I were in governing power in the MLB I would have banned all the players involved including players that knew about it and said nothing banned from baseball forever. The most recent was the Houston Astro's. Some did receive suspensions, hardly a harsh consequence. The players all went on including one became a MLB manager of a professional baseball club until today. What they did also altered or changed the outcome of many professional baseball players careers forever. It was a shame, it scared baseball forever although it seems to recover from it. Thank God. It's our national pastime and loved by so many.

Yogi Berra using a metal file to sharpen a buckle on his right shin guard and dragging the ball across it.

The Cubs had been accused of stealing signs, as had the Red Sox, from their scoreboards for decades. Tim McCarver said when he played they would watch the muscles in the catcher's forearms, to steal signs. It's nothing new. It was considered Good Baseball to steal an opponents signs. Still even if you KNOW what pitch is coming, you still have to HIT that pitch. If you do hit the pitch there is no way to know if it will be a base hit, a ground out, a pop fly, a foul ball, whatever. The hardest thing to do in all of Sports is hit a baseball. It's probably the only sport where a success rate of 30% at the plate, is considered GOOD.

Mike Scott cheated by scuffing baseballs, and Boston's Lew Burdette was suspected of using spitballs.

The Astros should've been forced to give up the title!!!!

How could you forget Gaylord Perry?

Keep up the good mark. All cheaters need to be banished.

…and MLB turn a blind eye and made billions!

What other topics would you like to see me cover the history of?

...and then Fernando Tatis Jr got "ringworm".

OK…. maybe I made a bad joke Jenifer….😝

Cicotte has a silent E. 'See-cott'.

"Changed the sport forever." How?

Funny how people will just lie and lie and lie and lie and lie, with the assumption they can always admit the truth and people will tell them it's ok.

don't forget ortiz who admitted to PED and is in the HOF

Astros were clearly caught cheating yet the stupid spineless MLB commissioner only issued fines and suspensions, but did not revoke the title or the trophy. Talk about injustice. 😠

Also MLB has the strongest players Union if they tried to punish those three teams for sign stealing it would be a long process, but also teams would rat on eachother and it would be a shit show.

Bobby Thompson: “I didn’t look at the sign on THAT pitch...” What BS.

As a Red Sox fan Cora got what he deserved. Good video

The losers of those WS were also stealing signs!

I can’t watch the video anymore

Amazingly they say .... guys in the 70's used...

I put you on 1.25x and it was still too slow

The dark blues? That sounds like a good team name. What is strange, is red sox or worse yet white sox. Cincinnati reds is normal. If a team came out with gray briefs or orange t shirts. That would be considered ridiculous. White Sox? There really isn’t anything more dull.

Where is the proof of the A's throwing the World Series to the Boston Braves? You need more than suspicion to make this allegation.

Not Canseco. He was upfront from the beginning.

Ya ain't cheatin then ya ain't tryin!

Did the Astros ever recover from the crippling five grand fine?

I propose a steroid era committee or let the fans vote. Who else should be in the hall? McGwire, Sosa, Bonds, Clemens, Palmeiro, A-Rod? Obviously. But who else?

But it still takes talent to crank one out of the park.

baseball, the game of cheaters

Didn’t mention foreign substances a single time

It was Flaxseed Oil!!

Robinson Cano twice

I'm not accusing anybody my question is and it's not related to baseball or Sports what about LL Cool J? I believe he was in the movie Beat Street and I know he was young and he was super super skinny and now he's super yoked and I'm not saying he took steroids but he's pretty yoked and that could be just from working out extremely hard I was just curious about it not a big deal

Forgot abt the spit ball

Wah Wah!!!! Everyone cheats!!

Fuck that leave my Red Sox alone

Everyone cheats these players are put under tremendous pressure to perform most people just don't understand that!

Can we take Mountain Landis out the HOF??

The Red Sox didn't get penalized? For what? The Red Sox haven't won a World Series since and they were exonerated for that. They won in 2018 for the same reason Houston won last year, both teams were stacked. The Red Sox had a rotation of Chris Sale and David Price and Houston had Justin Verlander and Framber Valdez. Cora was also very popular with the players. Also, the Astros have been in the Fall Classic 3 out of 4 times since.

No Rose had a sweet heart of a deal. That would have paid off his gambling debts, kept him out of prison, and eventually let him in. His book release screwed that up. Rose lied for years about his gambling. Rose is why Rose is not in. That does not let MLB off the hook for all of its integrity problems tho. For me if Rose released public statement saying he apologizes for his behavior and thinking he was above baseball I would be good with him getting in.

8:31 Kin-uh-saw is how it’s pronounced

And of course my boys top the list... 😣

Cheating is a part of baseball

Are you going to eat those tots?

Just what was in those hotdogs Babe Ruth used to eat?

The voice😁😁😳

Enough at this point no one gives a shit that they where juiced

See the steroids is a power thing but you still need to hit a tiny ball with split second decision. It's bs.

a $5000 fine. oh no how will they ever surive. ;)

6:45 you are talking about the Black Sox, not the White Sox.

Blackbald players banned for life

What about the Yankees and that envelope?

It’s funny all those guys that Jose mentioned during the steroid era all wore #25 + Barry bonds

brady anderson was a good hitter

Hire a professional voice. This guy had a voice perfect silent movie era.

What about all these guys who used corked bats like Sammy sosa?

It’s not cheating to steal signs unless you are using like electronics or shit like that... Binoculars? Borderline...

This guy sounds like Napoleon Dynamite, dork

Albert Pujols next

Bro this guy is trolling right?

Stealing signs isn’t cheating, it’s part of the game. That’s exactly why the pick their nose, twist their nipple, scratch their knee, grab their balls and give a raspberry just to let the batter know to take a pitch. All teams in all sports try to steal the other teams signs or plays.

The Astros have been to like 5 championship games in a row, all while being accused of cheating. Go ‘stros

Pointless. A sport that changes the ball to generate more runs tries to all of a sudden point out "cheaters".. if you'd like I could go on listing other examples of MLBs double srabdard. it's ironic that MLB points out these guys cheated and should be suspended or were suspended without pay. The irony again is the money the leagues made off these "cheaters" isn't given back to the fans. MLB isn't about players, fans or whatever. It's about cash ? I think you get my point..

OK, SOMEONE ANSWER ME THIS. IF STEROIDS MAKES YOU STRONG ENOUGH TO HIT HOME RUNS, WOULDN'T EVERY FLY BALL THESE GUYS HIT BE A HOME RUN. ITS LIKE SUPERMAN OR THE HULK BATTING. EVERY FLY BALL THEY HIT WOULD GO WAY OUT OF THE BALL PARK. ROIDS ALONG WITH HITTING THE WEIGHTS HARD HELPS YOU BECOME STRONG BUT DOESN'T GUARANTEE HOME RUNS UNLESS YOU HAVE SUPERHUMAN STRENGTH WHICH THESES GUYS DIDN'T HAVE.

Androstenedione was 100% legal and advertised constantly from 1997 until it was banned, it was pretty low grade; the maximum result would be one 5mg steroid tab equivilent (possibly the kind you need 50mg to get a result.) The 'Diol' variety was 3x as good, but still nothing special. I think they may have used it, but the results couldn't be as good as they got. However, 36 is not "old" or 'past ones prime' (outside of football, which tears up most people.) 35 is in the prime of one's adult life, that's when they start making money (outside of athletes and other celebs), it's the end of the first quarter of a working career (25-65, a decade per quarter.) I think the only reasons that's not the prime of one's life is if they eat junk or if they tear up their body, baseball isn't quite that bad; but it is pretty hard (pitcher and catcher get some pretty bad damage, I'd see a chiropractor after each game from swinging that bat.) With proper chiropractic care, a baseball player is in his prime at 36 like Bonds was when he hit 73 homers.

It’s not cheating if you are not caught.

"THIS IS NOT TRUE, THIS VIDEO IS ALL BULLSHIT, ASTROS ARE THE ONLY TEAM IN THE HISTORY OF MLB THAT HAS CHEATED" I can see jomboy and some other yankees and dodgers fans saying that, just casual baseball fans
