What a trenchant observation about candor and class. I suppose projection of both is unusual because candor is, unfortunately, often fueled by ego.
Right after that is also well done -- you make it clear that it wasn't that performance-enhancing drugs had only recently gained a foothold, but that public discussion of them was recent. That is accurate to the point in time. It would have been lazy but natural not to make the effort to phrase that so precisely.
Well he mentions steroidal based PEDs. Along those lines, I'm wondering about the "greenies" that were likely in the clubhouse during little Louie's and Nellie's era.
I always wondered what is the criterion for "broadcast excellence"? In contrast, I have some idea what the criterion is for "baseball" excellence (just think Willie Mays ... on the other hand if that was so there would only be one player - Willie - in the HOF). Likewise, for "broadcast excellence" I always think of Vin Scully. But if that was so - like Willie - there would only be one broadcaster in the HOF. So I wonder. What is the criterion?
