Hope this isn't a d_b.

Including this one:

2B - Joe Morgan
A Hall of Fame second baseman, Morgan ingested so much cocaine into his system during his heyday that he is now nothing more than a walking invalid who was given a job broadcasting baseball simply so millions of Americans could laugh at him every week. With some of the **** that comes out of his mouth, he is a poster child for the harmful effects drugs can have on your mind and a walking reminder of why kids should just say no.

Yeah, I can hardly believe nobody has already posted this obscure blog with nothing of interest.

Fergie Jenkins was on drugs? Must have missed that memo.

From baseball-reference.com

Ferguson Jenkins became the first player in baseball history to be permanently suspended from baseball for a drug related offense. Jenkins was arrested in Toronto, ON on August 25, 1980 for possession of cocaine. Fourteen days after the arrest, Commissioner Bowie Kuhn banned Jenkins. In an unprecedented decision, an independent arbitrator reinstated Jenkins on September 22, 1980.

Benito Santiago, chew know, was on the list, chew know? I am, chew know, shocked, chew know.

 

[Bubbler]

The 1982 St. Louis Cardinals ... all of them.

 

[Trey Beamon]

SP -- Dwight Gooden

With an arm -- and apparently, nose -- like Doc's, is there even a need for more pitchers?

 

[Jim Tom Pinch]

I forget. Is Mastercard honoring this group before Game one or two of the World Series. Will Jim Gray be doing on field interviews.

 

[Claws for Concern]

Have some Coke and a smile!

Yes, any coke list without Steve Howe is simply bull****.

 

[Songbird]

What about a sportswriters all-cokehead team?

I'd start with what people are posting here at 3am.....

 

[Songbird]

Very good, Ashy.

 

[beefncheddar]

Dock Ellis not making the team is a travesty. ;D
