I’ll admit I learned a lot from this thread - although getting those details from Jellybean was certainly like pulling teeth. Would have been much more useful if his initial post was more reporter and less cheerleader. But regardless, I’m now on the side that believes evidence points towards Braun being not guilty. However - what do you mean by one-strike-and-your-out? If he got hit with a 50 game ‘vacation,’ and then got caught sinning again, wouldn’t the next step be a 100-game suspension? Isn’t that what happened to Manny? And teams were still willing to take a chance on Manny, even with his diminished stats and increased mental retardation. Why would Braun be “out”?
Most of the details were in the original article from ABC -which is an AP source and can only be briefly excerpted. Per JR: All material from the Associated Press must be excerpted regardless of source (very brief excerpts).. Is it pulling teeth for you to click on the link at the top of the thread? I assumed (falsely it seems) anyone interested in the topic would have at least a passing familiarity with the controversy.
Why would Braun be out?
Braun is on pace to be in the Hall of Fame. Until he's completely exonerated, his nomination is in doubt.
I am a Braun cheerleader, btw.
