View Full Version : John Rocker-Whiner....
This guy is the President of the "I don't get it" club.
“ I've taken a lot of crap from a lot of people. Probably more than anybody in the history of this sport. I know Hank [Aaron] and Jackie [Robinson] took a good deal of crap, but I guarantee it wasn't for six years. I just keep thinking: How much am I supposed to take? ”

He's an idiot. He was a pretty good reliever for a couple of years, but now trying to make a comeback from a bad injury. Most baseball fans aren't giving him crap; most baseball fans forgot that he is still playing. Comparing himself to Aaron and Robinson is not only a stupid comparison, it's an insult to Aaron or Robinson.

What level of pro baseball is that team? I don't follow the minor leagues at all and have no clue what level they are. Is he anywhere close to getting back in the Majors. In the immortal words of both Daffy and Bugs, "What a marroon".

John Rocker should be thankful that a team, ANY team, is willing to have him play... and stop comparing his self-brought "struggle" with people who had REAL struggles.
John Rocker is playing for/with the Long Island Ducks, which plays in the Atlantic League. If you've never heard of the Atlantic League it could be because the League is a Minor League Independent League... that is, not affiliate with any MLB team.
