Not a single mention of steroids. For shame.
The roid downfall of Giambi and Sheffield and Clemens (in doses .. heh get it? doses?) helped in their decline too.
Most notably the downfall of Giambi and steroids as Clemens’ allegations and downfall really didn’t come until after last season and there’s no way to tell whether that affected his performance last year.
Niven…
I always enjoy coming to this site because you offer great tips and advice for people like me who can always use a few good pointers. I will be getting my friends to pop around fairly soon….
I was born in Chicago in the 50s, so learned at an early age to appreciate and hate the Yankees. As I have aged the respect continues and I have outgrown the younger hate over yankees constantly besting ?my? White Sox. My response is about the championship tee shirts ? who decision to purchase generic ?gray? tee shirts to cover the Yankee pinstripes. Those tshirts made the guys appear ordinary like fans at a flag football game, and covering the Yankee stripes in this moment of triumph was to me an act of sacrilege.
