Uh oh, don't get Reggie upset.
He mostly shot himself in the foot this time...
(I wonder if it was some kind of weird prescience that made them cast Priscilla Bowles’ mum as Maggie Thatcher in that flick.)
What.
A.
Douche.
The straw that stirs the drink said something controversial about teammate? Wow! Who’d a thunk?!
You put Reggie on the payroll, you get Reggie. The Yanks of all teams have to know that.
Reggie is right about A-Roid.
Go take a look at A-Roid’s rookie card. Puny little arms he’s got.
If Reggie spoke the truth that Alex Rodriguez’s records will be tainted because of his performance-enhancing admitted drug use, then why should Reggie be punished? And why is Rodriquez given a pass?
He’s being punished because he made those comments about A-Rod while he’s being employed by the Yankees. I don’t think anyone can really argue about the truth of what Reggie said here.
“Mr. October” decided to set himself up as the arbiter of who is and who is not worthy of Hall of Fame status. This from the guy whose fielding presaged the term “defensive indifference”.
If he’d limited his comments to A-rod’s steroid use and records, there might not be a controversy at all. But, being Reggie, he couldn’t stop there.
he used....IMO of course....
