I am surprised that the writers haven't ramrodded Strawberry, Gooden and Mitchell into Cooperstown considering how hard they carried water for them for the balance of the 80s and 90s.
As soon as Canseco said he was the mastermind of anything is the point you can ignore everything he is saying…Guy couldn’t mastermind a trip to the toilet.
@@matthewgabbard6415you seem pretty dense. How did you get that he was saying they weren't juicing? He was just saying Jose didn't mastermind it which he didn't! A wise man once said he couldn't mastermind a trip to the toilet. Jesus you are out here looking for any reason to tell someone they are wrong so you can feel smart huh?
I can't agree that Tim Raines' dance with Snow White hangs a cloud over his HOF career. Let's be honest, if a cloud hung over every athlete, actor, actress, and musician who played with the marching powder in the 80s and had long, successful careers, we'd never see the sun again.
The Pirates won the World Series with the outfielders carrying COKE HITTERS in their pockets in the outfield and did a wack or two from their bullet while pitching changes offered. Saw this often and actually think many pitchers were pulled so the outfielders go get a wack to help them get over the boredom . Nice to watch from the upper deck boxes with your 9 year old daughter who thought PEPSI was better than COKE. SHE WAS RIGHT!
A lot of it has to do with mic type, placement, and recording technique. Then yeah eq and dynamic eq like de-essing and de-popping is absolutely necessary. Then you just want to normalize and somewhat maximize all the audio together to reduce dynamic range and keep everything at the samish volume, and keep it loud. Someone can always turn it down towards 0db, but you cannot always turn it up to sufficiently compensate for quiet audio. You might have it all the way up but it still is not as loud as maximized audio turned all the way up on your device
I totally agree. I personally love all the Baseball content on TH-cam. A lot of work goes into these story’s but the moment I start hearing names that are said wrong or names said right but the person and fact are for another person, I’m usually out and don’t hit the like and subscribe button.

Highly recommend the Lonnie smith documentary by Jon bois if you want to learn more about this crazy era and how it affected one man. Fantastic video btw.
Crazy how sterile I thought the mlb was as a kid in this era. Lonnie Smith was an average baseball card, and on a few teams I just didn’t like…I’ll have to check it out
The title is: Really Good Lonnie Smith It’s by Jon bois. Quite possibly my favorite video on TH-cam. Became a huge fan of the dude because of it. Now I’m pen pals with Lonnie 😂
There was a drug era well before the coke issues in the 1980's. As early as the beginning of the 1960's a lot of players were using amphetamine tablets nicknamed "greenies" dissolving them in coffee prior to games. Jim Bouton details this in his book "Ball Four".
4 ounces a month... 1 ounce = 8 - 8-balls any adult can finish an 8-ball off in an evening, or 24 hour keep going day. That is 32 8-balls a month, or 1 ball a day. That isn't very much at all if you're splitting between other professional athletes. They had to have another conect to keep adult male athletes going on the reg.
Great video, though I couldn't help but notice that it looked like you used a picture of Gary Sanchez for Pudge. Regardless of a minor detail, keep it up! You've got great content.
Lenny Dykstra claims he and Paul Molitor were cocaine users when they were the NL/AL Championship MVPs in 1993 and met each other on the Dave Letterman show... fax!!!
Doc Gooden lost a whole year in 1995 for taking Coke which is really a PDD (performance decreasing drug) Yet at that same time, MLB did nothing about PEDs which actually give players a performance advantage.
Hey. Thank you for making this video and others like it. Anyone complaining about pronunciation just needs to watch with subtitles. I think you are doing a great job, and the more you dive into it the better you will become! Look forward to what you put out next!
Exactly, however for years it wasn't illegal but I'm sure some or most were not getting them legally. Regardless it was a big performance enhancer, and widespread through the league and country.
@@jasonnelson6624can say the same exact thing for steroids, except the amphetamines were an even bigger advantage than a male hormone already occuring in your body. The fact boomers praise the guys in the 70s and 80s and hate 90s guys blows my mind considering their dudes were cheating even harder
That stuff just ruins these videos for me. I can understand maybe a lesser known player but even then. If your making a video that you work hard on the get views and subscribers you got to be bang on. Especially with the HOF players. Most people who watch these videos know what going on in that sport. When I see that stuff it makes me think the person knows nothing of the sport that I am a complete fanatic about. It was a good video though but definitely got to work on the fundamentals
In the interest of science, I conducted an experiment during this video. The hypothesis is that the droll, droning monotone, and the drooping inflection at the end of literally every sentence is enough of an overall low that it could actually neutralize the usual effects of cocaine. The control was to rip one moderately sized line when the bit about Tim Raines began. No additional line until at least 15 minutes in. The effects were documented thoroughly. Conclusions are that the voice didn't lessen the potency or duration, in fact no second line was used. However, the voice did become noticeably more droll and it was easy to lose focus on it. I can safely say that I missed most of the second half of the video, as the voice is a low and clashed with my upper tinged brain. Now to publish my findings.
The MLB let the Steroid Era happen and then left the players out to dry. I remember clearly that everyone knew what was happening but there were crickets from the league, so we all just accepted it.
These are all adults. I’m not saying it was right, it wasn’t. However, dealing with bad behavior from adults is no simple matter. How intrusive can they be? How public? I am a lifelong baseball fan and hate steroids ruined a whole era but other than testing what responsibility does an employer have?
I agree with you. I believe that MLB at least tacitly encouraged it. Look at the big McGwire-Sosa HR race, which took place after a players lockout, after which MLB desperately needed to bring the fans back. Neither player had ever hit HRs at such a rate, and Sosa certainly hadn't, being like Bonds, who was a good hitter with some power but nothing like that year. There had always been rumors of PED use by the "Bash Brothers" that were later confirmed and Sosa had suddenly bulked up to be able to hit homers at a record pace. MLB looked the other way and actively promoted the race to break Maris's record, just like they would when Bonds grew three hat sizes and ended up breaking Aaron's lifetime record. You can't tell me the owners, supported by the commissioner, weren't complicit in all of it.
@@tonyhill1141whats funny is Coke and amphetamines give an even bigger performance advantage and we're rampant in the 70s and 80s- even Willie Mays admitted to taking them..but they get a pass bc congress didn't try to create an overblown hoopla over them like they did with a naturally occurring male hormone😂
@@RicoCosta317half the shit they were taking wasn't even banned and was readily available at their local GNC. It's honestly a joke how they left the players out to dry
It’s crazy how the nfl has hid HGH problem so well. Almost all NFL players are on HGH or some form of steroids. Testing is weak for all of it. But still only MLB gets slammed for it. Crazy.
I am from Pittsburgh. Grew up in the shadows of three rivers. Was even involved in drug culture. And I never heard of this story until this video. I am shocked this was all going on when I was 3 years old and I never heard about it growing up
"He made his debut in 1985, the very beginning of the drug-related era in baseball." Players have been doing Greenies and whatever for decades prior to that. Doc Ellis was doing all of it a decade prior too lol.
People forget that cocaine was everywhere back then and not seen as that big of a deal. It wears off in 15 minutes so they figured it was no different than smoking a cigarette. And yes it is big time addictive, but I still don’t see it as bad as opiates or meth
You really should learn how to pronounce people's names correct before making a video. I know alot of research went into making this video. Another 5 minutes could have been taken to learn how to pronounce people's names. It wasn't just one name, it was several names that were just completely butchered.
Drug use.. specifically cocaine or roids? Are they the same on how we view these players? I'd say they're totally different, used to for totally different outcomes...
Of course baseballers did coke. Pitchers only play every 5 games, time at bat is minimal and getting just a hit 30% of the time is considered amazing, infielders do f all running and outfielders only have to throw back to the infielders. It’s hardly a sport of attrition and fatigue. You could do a full day’s work and go out partying and still play baseball well
The use of amphetamines was prevalent and normalized for far longer than cocaine or steroids. Almost every team had a guy in the stands who would get you your little bag greenies or bennies. Most identify it with the 60s and 70s, but it goes back further.. You also should mention the use of adderall nowadays.
And everyone only talks about Bonds smh guess it’s okay since it was coke, amphetamines and who else knows what these hall of famers drug addicts were doing. The Ruth era was doing uppers and pretty much all alcoholics as well. All enhancers, but let’s only focus on a guy who never got busted for drug use
Hey, so my pop is friends with a dude who pitched for the Expos around the same time Tim Raines was on the team. I asked him about this story on Tuesday night. He said it was totally true, it just wasn't vials of blow in his back pocket, but baggies. Either way you wouldn't wanna slide on it.
You think the 75 and 76 Reds teams were infamous?? Do you know what infamous even means? The 75 and 76 Reds have never been seen as infamous then or now. You are just coming off as the typical YT who wants to get clicks from negative stories when they are just made up.

Tim Raines always slid headfirst ; so as not to break the viao of crack in his backpocket
And everyone only talks about Bonds smh guess it’s okay since it was coke, amphetamines and who else knows what these hall of famers drug addicts were doing. The Ruth era was doing uppers and pretty much all alcoholics as well. All enhancers, but let’s only focus on a guy who never got busted for drug use
Not the Mascot... 😂😂😂
Hey, so my pop is friends with a dude who pitched for the Expos around the same time Tim Raines was on the team. I asked him about this story on Tuesday night. He said it was totally true, it just wasn't vials of blow in his back pocket, but baggies. Either way you wouldn't wanna slide on it.
The sins are definitely better concealed in today's MLB.
Yup. Especially the betting scandals
I can't believe Vida blue, Dennis eckersley.....😲😲
They called him Rock Raines for a reason
You think the 75 and 76 Reds teams were infamous?? Do you know what infamous even means? The 75 and 76 Reds have never been seen as infamous then or now. You are just coming off as the typical YT who wants to get clicks from negative stories when they are just made up.
I'm gonna read that book "juiced" one of these days.....conseco is a cool dude.....
Curtis Strong? More like Curtis Snow
