But by my senior year of college my body was so beat up I could hardly walk! I've been through 27 Surgical Proceedures to this point and pain management unfortunately is a part of my life!

Dykstra says he was a small guy around 5 feet 9, 165lbs, and a part-time player without roids because his body couldn't stand the entire 162 game season. Understandable. Which makes what Ichiro did even more incredible being essentially the same size as Lenny and putting up HOF numbers in his 20 year career.

Yep, so it can be done so this is just an example of a player that reached his full potential and was good but he wanted more and cheated to achieve what others could do naturally, perhaps robbing another player and their family of money. There is no noble reason for cheating, what helps your family hurts another so once again, he is just selfish and Ichiro (as far as we know) did it the right way.

We don't have actual investigative reporters covering sports.

PETE ROSE are two of the PHILLIE players who had legal trouble both went to prison, For years we have wanted a pro baseball team in TENNESSEE but every time the police say NO, they let us have a pro football team and there is talk they might close them down, so my question is were is the PHILLIE police to stop these players from getting into trouble. Police down here want allow that kind of stuff to go on, PACMAN JONES, VINCE YOUNG got rid of them and anyone who doesn't meet the proper standing has no place in Tennessee. Both MR.ROSE and MR.DYKSTRA was given a talent and made millions of dollars from it and both turned out to be nothing but criminals something our police will not tolerate.

You're not a die hard Red Sox fan if you're talking about the 9th inning of game 6. It was the TENTH inning where all the fireworks happened. Even if Dave Stapleton is in there, the game was already tied before Buckner's gaffe, so there's no guarantee that the 86 ChokeSox would have won anyway, so Buckner was the least of the issues in that 10th inning that you remember oh so incorrectly.
