Baseball - January 2007

Who got the best of the deal and why?

2007-01-18 01:45:21 · 10 answers · asked by P.I. Stingray 6

I'm curious to see where baseball fans out there stand on this. Do you want to see Bonds break the all-time home run mark of 755 (which has a good chance of happening this season), or has the steroid issue caused you to lose interest or not want him to do it?

For their career?
For their best season?

Adam LaRoche goes to Pittsburgh in exchange for Mike Gonzalez. I like the trade on both ends, but as a Pirates fan (yes, there are still a few of us) I'm amazed that the Pirates actually made an offseason move that seems to make some sense!! Thoughts?

You hit the ball and run the bases, everyone thinks that’s it to baseball and softball…but there is more. Though you may only see the hitting of the ball or the running of the bases, it’s also the love of the game, the cheers of the crowd, the hard rules that you have to follow, and much more! It’s true; baseball and softball are almost the same sports except for a few major differences. I think that what you are about to hear will change your heart and spirit about baseball and softball, seeing how they are similar or different and all.
Baseball and softball settings are kind of like the game Mirror Magic. You see the same thing, but if you look more closely there are some things that are different. Many lucky ones know the feeling of anxiety building as you walk done the darkened hallway, the smell of the fresh cut grass growing stronger and stronger, then finally the light opens up in front of you presenting the stadium ahead. This is the setting for American loving sports, baseball and softball. That’s right they may be different sports but they have the same setting. The tan line of the diamond on the grassy field is where they play. Though the game being performed may stink, and though it’s not your favorite team playing, no real American would turn down tickets to a game of either baseball or softball. That is why I say that the stadium shall always be full as long as the games of baseball and softball don’t die as passes by time. Both baseball and softball may be played on a diamond but they both don’t play the same game of food! Though there may be no insane man throwing peanuts yelling “Heads up!” like there usually would be at a baseball game, there is a snack bar to fill the hungry needs of fans at a softball game. So you may be walking into the same picture when visiting either a baseball or a softball game, but we all know they are different in their own way!
Each game needs rules and though baseball and softball are quite similar in many ways, they are also different. Football, dodge ball, soccer…these are all sports with the most similar rules? Well they are baseball and softball. Imagine how boring a sport would be without players! Luckily baseball and softball both have 9-10 players. However, all the 9-10 players on each team can’t stay in one spot! That is why both baseball and softball have infielders and outfielders. Don’t hate the game cause they ‘aint the same! The differences are why we love ‘em! For those who don’t innings are when both teams of each game get to play, and while baseball has 9 innings softball has 7 innings. Overhand throws and underhand throws are two completely different things. One is more powerful, while the other one…not so much. So if you are wondering which has the more powerful throw, its baseball which uses the overhand throw, while softball uses the underhand throw? Though some may not like the rules and others think it’s unfair we still follow them with the kindness of our hearts.
With no equipment and no players there would be nothing left but a dusty, empty field with crickets chirping in the background. However, I thank god every day that mankind solved that problem by creating equipment and having players! Bats and balls aren’t the only thing similar in the topic of baseball vs. softball. Sliding is a useful trick in both baseball and softball, but to do this safely, no matter what sport you need knee pads for the least; and both baseball and softball use them! Weather some people consider it “manly” or not, both sports have their difference. Baseball is considered to be a “manly sport” by many people. However, softball takes the lead as a “womanly sport”. I guess that’s why most boys join baseball while girls join softball. Due to the “manliness” of baseball the ball is a hard white ball with red-stitched like lines on either side, yet softball has a softer yellow ball instead. From this we all learn that there is nothing better than a bat, ball, and players to play and love the sport.
Well, now you know what to do if you are ever faced with having a ball, bat and a diamond field…play either softball or baseball! However, remember that they each have there separate settings, rules, equipment, and players. Finally we now know that there are many different things in the world of baseball and softball.

Lots of people have suggested that Bonds, Sosa, McGwire et al. should not be elected to the Hall of Fame, despite the fact that there has been no proof of steroid use by any of them.

Sosa was caught with a corked bat, but he claimed it was an accident and the fans believed him. Bonds did test positive for amphetamines, but they were only banned this past year, so it's probable that some current HOFers used them.

Gaylord Perry, on the other hand, was an admitted doctorer of baseballs. He was suspended once for it, but has since admitted that he did it a lot more. Despite that, he was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1991.

Is this a double standard? Or is there a difference in the situations? Should Perry be in the Hall?

Barry Bonds came out publicly to make it clear his teammate and good friend Mark Sweeney had no involvement in the latest allegations against the San Francisco slugger.

He insists he didn't get any amphetamines from Sweeney. He also didn't deny using them.

Does he even deserve to be on a team period?
