Carlos Beltran, Andruw Jones elected to Cooperstown. *

So steroids are still worse than stealing signs. *

Don't get me started on the Trashstros, but

the sign-stealing was not done during his playing career, which is all that is in scope.

Yes it was. He played for them in 2017, when it started.

He was a ring leader.

He literally invented the damn thing.

And even admitted to it, becoming the only Astro to admit that it happened.

Oh, I thought he was a coach then. My bad. *

Another White Sox Player

Joining Steve Carlton, Ken Griffey, Jr. & Roberto Alomar!

Jim Thome too! *

Don't forget Tom Seaver!

But unlike the other four, Tom Terrific still had a bit left in the tank.

Griffey reminds me of my favorite story in his very brief tenure with the Sox:

The Sox were playing the Twins in the old Metrodome. Like Cub fans, Twins fans have this weird and goofy habit of throwing back opposing players' home run balls. It was Steve Stone's first season broadcasting the Sox after coming over from the Cubs, and that first season he was on radio.

Griffey hit a tape measure home run high over the "hefty bag" in rightfield into the upper deck.

Ed Farmer: " . . . Track. Wall. Gone!"
Stone: "Ed, I now know who the dumbest guy in America is."
Farmer: "Who's that, Steve?"
Stone: "That guy just threw back Ken Griffey Jr.'s 609th home run ball."

Good for Carlos *
