Mantle used steroids?

[jaxvid]

A book "Cooperstown Confidential" claims Mickey Mantle used steroids.

Yeah, I know, people will believe anything. Here is an execerpt from an article about the book.

Cooperstown cannot lock out Steroids Era

Oh, and Cobb was a racist so he shouldn't be in the Hall either.

(from the article, book written by Zev Chavets-wonder what his background is??)

Yes, that's right. Mickey Mantle did steroids.
Remember 1961, the year he and Roger Maris chased down the Babe?

If you do, you'll also remember Mantle sat out a period of time because his quack doctor used a dirty needle on him, causing an abscess on his hip. What you might not know is what was in the needle: steroids and amphetamines.

I learned this while reading Chafets' piece in this week's ESPN The Magazine, in which Chafets articulates something that's been gnawing at me for some time. PEDs, he says, shouldn't keep Steroids Era players out of the Hall of Fame, because some of their antecedents are already there.

But I also know this: The Hall is jammed with players who violated the integrity clause. As Chafets points out, two members (Tris Speaker and Rogers Hornsby) were members of the Ku Klux Klan. DiMaggio had serious mob connections. Ty Cobb bragged about killing a man and getting away with it; Grover Cleveland Alexander pitched drunk when alcohol was a banned substance.

If you're going to bar Barry Bonds, Manny Ramirez, Roger Clemens and who knows how many other juicers/suspected juicers for violating the integrity clause, what do you do about the Speakers and Hornsbys and DiMaggios and Cobbs? What do you do about all the Hall of Famers who used PEDs â€" including the many players who gobbled amphetamines at a time when they were as common as aspirin in major league clubhouses?

More pro-caste bashing of legendary White players by a rootless cosmopolitan!

Per Wikipedia...

After graduating from the University of Michigan, moved to Israel. He spent a decade in the army, government service and politics. In 1977, he was appointed Director of the Government Press Office, a post he held for five years during the administration of Prime Minister Menachem Begin. He was the founding managing editor of the Jerusalem Report magazine and is the author of ten books of fiction, media criticism, and social and political commentary.Edited by: DixieDestroyer

Yep. Borzov, Mennea, Allan Wells, and any other white that used to accomplish magnificent feats (against other blacks) won all because of steroids just like Mickey Mantle and Babe Ruth. Maybe the intellectual Vitali Klitschko does and that explains why he is able to beat all of the affletes in doing what they do best.

But Michael Johnson, Sammy Sosa, Maurice Greene, Usain Bolt, Tyson Gay, Asafa Powell, Ronnie Coleman, and Mike Tyson were all drug free.

This sarcasm is aimed at the "stage 1" of the cleansing by the way. It parallells the "we are all born racist" line very well.

Good find. Almost too obvious.

That's all I need to know. Just another piece of ant-white bilge.

Anabolic Steroids were only readily available in the US since 1959. By then, Mantle had the majority of his best seasons.

 

[Don Wassall]

When the topic of steroids use in baseball first started to be discussed in the media, one of the argumentsgiven that sluggers were using them was by comparing how much bigger players like McGwire and Bonds were compared to power hitters from the past like Mantle, Jimmy Foxx, Eddie Matthews and Hank Aaron. But now Mantle is being smeared as a user himself.

The totalitarian Cultural Marxist regime does not acknowledge Whites as a race, except in negative ways. And Whites are not allowed to have White heroes; all must be ignored, diminished or smeared.
