Props For The Crime Dog


In light of the recent revelations about steroids use throughout Major League Baseball, the Sports Prof thinks it's time to show some respect for one of the recent past's most maligned power hitters, Fred McGriff:

[T]here probably hasn't been a more dissed player over the past several seasons than the Crime Dog, whom I'll alway remember as one of the best first basemen of his era (thanks to ESPN Radio for pointing this out) . . . All of these scandals help enrich his legend, and, to me, make him a lock for the Hall of Fame. Why? He had hung around trying to reach 500 dingers, because he thought he needed them for admission to the Hall. Now that the truth is surfacing, we should thank Fred McGriff for his integrity. His home runs were real.

Be sure to check out his comments on yesterday's Jason Giambi press conference too. I wonder what Aaron Boone thought of it?

Yeah, but McGriff didn't have to worry about money, with his residuals from the Tom Emanski Defensive Drills videos.
