Did you hear Barry Bonds'

comments

? He then he said that he had been upstairs. He is claiming. Well, Marvin, could you play? It's on a podcast. He was talking about the Hall of Fame. People have to understand that something is that the fact is that I was vindicated. I was. to court I was in federal court and I won my 100th case where is Mia Mountain's Vindication? That's what bothers me. What do you think she is the Hall of Famer? thing with McGuire, you know they had it and everything else that we all assumed we had, we found Andrew or whatever at the time, which definitely wasn't illegal supposedly in those days, I think Roger's been in the same situation, you know, there are questions about certain Hall of Famers that they may have basically used, you know, there are Shadows that have existed, it seems like there's a selection process of who, okay, let's get these three, four or five guys , the A-Rod, uh, Barry, you know Roger Mark, oh. let's get up, let's get these guys and we'll, you know, make them our guys, um and yet there are some you know where there are questions about you, I don't have any questions, I mean, you know, you know who there might be, who was followed And everything else. and I think that, uh, I think that as long as you know if the courts have done it, you know or if we're going to be the fact that he's guilty forever, uh sounds good, been there, done that, he's talking.

I came out saying: you know what I have to do on the court, of course, but if they weren't examining Johnny at that moment, what is that? If they weren't looking at steroids, that's what Bonds says baseball wasn't looking at well, that was the issue. that really came to light and during the time that, um uh, when cocaine was a part of this, you know Marvin Miller was really hated basically by the owners because Marvin Miller was a guy who, as part of the Players Association major league baseball, it was kind of Delay the fact of when the testing could happen because I think he thought that if the players were really using, they needed to do something to get them out of there, let's give it a year or two and take that time.

They're blaming Marvin. so it became the steroid era and I blame that, I blame the trainers because or the physical trainers, whoever your guy is, you're the PT because he's setting things up. I call it the age of the blender. I think that's when you know who you are. saying, hey, I want, I want to build muscle, I say, okay, let's put this powder and let's put this shark thing in there and we'll mix it up and then the guys next to you are bigger and stronger and he said, well, what's doing well? he's using this other powder and if you went to GNC at that time or where certain places were sold, 89 of him if you had known he had the drugs that would actually build muscle and do things and your performance dancing and then you know he said right.

What happens from time to time? He said, "Well, take a B12 shot or any other shot and the guys that hit 12 home runs, you know, next year they're making 8 40. All of a sudden, they're making 3 million to 13 15 million and it's hard to say that these guys that you know right now can take a look at what you know, they have the money in the bank, they improve themselves, we all went, you know, all to be bigger, stronger, better, and that's why they use it as a crutch and but when you start putting your stuff in the blender and you start getting certain things and developing help, I would have been the one you know, I would have loved to have stuff, I mean, you catch 154 days in a row like I did for a stretch. .I would have loved to have something that would revitalize you and try to take you to the next level, so we've been through these different things in baseball, the Greenies, the amphetamines, everything that goes with it, you can drink, uh you can take two aspirin. and drink a Coke you almost get it you can take a diet pill and get it supposedly from what they told me so you know I played uh I played without it uh I remember one time and they were in the kit they were in the coach's kit.

I came in and we played like 15 innings, you're talking about amphetamines, yeah, and I came in on Saturday and I came in on Sunday, I said, I told the coach, I said I can. You don't move, he opened his kit and took out a pill and said: take this half an hour later. I didn't achieve everything. I did not do it. You know, and it's like, well, why wouldn't you want to do this every day if? You might feel like that and then the next year they banned it, so now it's like you're taking Advil or a leading drug and it's Tylenol or whatever, and tomorrow they say no, you can't take it anymore and you'd be like, wait. one minute I feel great this is helping me I can play golf I can run I can do all these things so you know Wonder Broadway performance improves but you're not wearing a Wonder Bra right now, right? no no, these are just real, this is a system that requires no training.

Actually, I'm, you know, trying to worry about not pulling a fat muscle, so everything else.
