1st HR at Target Field

I'd rather see Bob Gibson like or Pedro like in 1999 before any sleeze, juiced up hitter hits for .265 with 60 HR's anytime in 1998.

Give me Pujols anyday over the 98' juice bags. Exciting for baseball??? Yeah,, for those that don't know the game.

3 guys that bring more to the game than those of 98' and who DON"T cheat:

Mauer, JETER, PUJOLS, and for an extra,, ICHIRO. Throw Pedro in for a pitcher(most people forget about PEDRO,, look at his #'s and give me pitcher in the modern era that compares) and Rivera for a closer and you have the best of the no-cheats. Sorry for the rant.

1998 brought the masses back to baseball. Plain and simple. The average person cares about the long ball. That is the BEST marketing tool MLB has. And yes it is exciting. I highly doubt you sit in your chair with emotions unchanged when a home run is hit. Regardless if its hit by your team, the opposing team, a roid head or not. It immediately impacts the game.

Now I'd also like to see great pitching, defense, small ball thrown into the mix in any given game but the fact is home runs are the sex appeal in the game.

Pujlos has never taken HGH or steroids? Here’s my best “riiiiigggghhhhhtttt”. Now that's laughable...
