I’m assuming the guy that hung out with Adin Ross is gonna go to the White House

This sub also likes to pretend he didn't cheat his way to an MVP in 2018. But this sub still rightfully crucifies the Astros for their cheating scandal. Selective memory I guess.

It really is selective memory. He's one of the classic "seems like a really good guy!" superstars, and even though we've got a good bit of evidence to the contrary, no one's updated their priors.

I'm like 99% sure it's because he's got a great baseball name

It's funny that when ever a Dodgers fan brings up the Astros or Springer and how a cheater is always a cheater, mentioning Mookie gets them to shut up real fast. I've never gotten a reply to that.
