This is a really bad documentary lol

Luckily I'm content watching dingers and having occasional snippets of Sammy Sosa interviews

Well, in Whoville they say - that his tiny hands grew three sizes that day.

if you wanted this to be focused on Literally George Will moralizing about steroids instead of big beefy boys bangin' bombs then you deserve to be given a swirlie

should be legal for a team to have a pinch hitter who is geared to the gills and enters the stadium with his own theme song

Hey man, we put McGwire in our Hall of Fame. It was cute, he cried.

To be fair, Mark seems like a crier.

They still brought in George Will and Bob Costas to talk about steroids so it's the worst of both worlds

Should have opened with the Sammy interview where he was like "Everyone was on loving steroids and I'm the problem???" and made it a doc about how Steroids Saved Baseball

This film seemed like it was bending over backwards to stay "objective" or "gotta hear both sides" and ended up having nothing to say about the era or McGwire/Sosa's legacies.

Mostly just mad that they somehow managed to make a boring documentary about dingers featuring footage of Sammy Sosa scoffing at people who care about him using steroids & talking about how god picked him over Griffey in '98

i bet they totally did but the footage is unusable because jose canseco's brain is mush and he can't string together coherent thoughts

Why did they try to pawn off modern Wrigley shots with fans as if it happened in 1998? Like they had a shot of Sosa homering and crowd cheering with World Series and Kris Bryant jerseys. Just for HD shots? Cubs broadcasts were known for great crowd shots back in the day.

They did the same thing with St. Louis shots; tons of Yadi and MCarp jerseys. I assume it was so they had HD shots.

Also they cropped in any score bug so it wouldn’t show the network. Which was weird.
