Thoughts on John Rocker

How do you perceive him? Seems he’s come full circle. After making an arse out of him, his views on immigration are spot on and he’s not afraid to voice it loud and clear on his X account.

John just doesn’t give a frick.

If he said that stuff now as a professional baseball player there would be like sponsored boycott, and absurd stuff.
But the kind of stuff he was describing as being in New York in the 1990s has spread to the rest of the country today.

An American badass. He was right back then and he's right now.

He was one hell of a closer for a bit. I thought what he said about New York was hilarious.
He said what a lot of people think after visiting there.

One of the bigger idiots to ever play a professional sport.

Until he got " rocked" in the World Series against the Yankees.
Probably still sees Chad Curtis connecting every night.

Context for those that don’t know of John Rocker
Posted on 2/12/26 at 12:23 pm to Mstate
That's only part of what he said. Rocker spent all day riding around with a sports writer doing a big piece on him. He talked shite about everyone/everything the entire time. When the writer parted ways he said to John, "You know I'm doing a story on you, and you didn't give me much of anything positive to write." John said, "I don't give a shite what you write."
He then went on to get pissed when the story came out and he caught shite.

He had 1 year as a closer and he was above average but a step or two below the best that season.

Jeff Perlman is the writer.

I couldn't remember who it was. I just remember it wasn't a hot mic or live interview deal that got him. It was a piece that was requested and he agreed to. He knew it was all on the record.
I don't particularly care about what he said. He's an idiot for saying it, and I guess a hypocrite because he told the guy to write whatever he wanted and that he didn't give a shite, then he got mad when the story ran. I mean, come on, John......

Didn't he spit in a toll machine and got the gate to go up?

He is who Kenny Powers is based of, Danny McBrides character.
But he was spot on. Dude was a high T man and only spoke of what he saw and vaguly where the future was going.
A modern day profit you could say.
They hated him. But he was not wrong or lied.
