Barry Bonds for me. I don’t even care about the roids because they were all more or less doing it.

Dick Groat

Dick Groat was a hell of a player and was also a wonderful man. The ultimate team player. The Pirates should have never traded him to the Cardinals. Joe Brown, GM of the Pirates, said it was his worst mistake trading Groat.

The Veterans Committee should put Groat in Cooperstown, imo.
