81. Baseball Giving Rocker Too Much Thought
He shouldn't be subjected to an office couch for them. If baseball really wantedto punish john rocker, it would make the Braves trade him to New York.

Friday, January 07, 2000 Baseball giving Rocker too much thought
BY PAUL DAUGHERTY
The Cincinnati Enquirer
In America, you have the right to be a moron. It's inalienable. That's why God gave us Jerry Glanville and pro wrestling. All In The Family. It was all about a moron. It revolved around a moron. It may have been the best show in the history of shows. Archie Bunker was a moron. Also a crank, a bigot and a homophobe. That was the point. A. Bunker said incredibly dumb things. We laughed. No one took him seriously. John Rocker, Atlanta Braves relief pitcher, is A. Bunker incarnate. He says the same incredibly dumb things. He is a moron. Why aren't we laughing?

Reply to "John Rocker Comments"
February 16, 2000
Sports Illustrated magazine. KNX has denigrated Bud Selig’s decision to protect the integrity of baseball by suggesting that political correctness was his motive. Instead of supporting the commissioner’s decision to discipline a player, KNX has played the "right to free speech card," and by doing so completely ignored the context in which Mr. Rocker spoke. Mr. Rocker must be punished. The short suspension and small fine was a start. I would add community service towards those he offended as part of his punishment. It would go a long way toward healing. Mr. Rocker needs to replace cowardice with courage and accept his punishment. If not, he learns nothing, and sets a hateful example for children. Who is safe?

DAN HOLMES, January 7, 2000
The Rocker Ruckus Major League Baseball never seems to do the right thing. You would think that "by accident" MLB would get something right. Yet, they are marvels of incompetence. The latest episode is the John Rocker story which appeared in a December 1999 issue of Sports Illustrated . In the mag, the Braves outspoken reliever slams homosexuals, Asians, women, New Yorkers, foreigners, Mets fans, drivers, some of his teammates, single Moms, and well...let's just say he slammed almost everybody. The story paints Rocker as a bitter, angry, impatient young man with little class and even less intelligence. He's basically a spoiled kid with a great arm. Baseball immediately reacted with outrage. Hank Aaron ripped Rocker's remarks, as did Brave outfielder Brian Jordan. Manager Bobby Cox expressed dismay, and fellow Braves pitcher Tom Glavine decried the mess Rocker had gotten himself into. Of course Rocker's remarks are stupid. In much the same way Marge Schott made herself look ignorant when the former Reds owner commented on Hitler, the Jews, World War II, and blacks, Rocker showed his idiocy as soon as he opened his mouth for the

Off His Rocker
Firing Braves pitcher is letting him off too easy By Randy Horick We have an old saying in our family: "Never miss a good opportunity to shut up." In keeping with that time-honored philosophy, but eschewing it personally for the moment, let me offer a few helpful suggestions for some people. John Rocker: Shut the hell up. New York Media Geniuses: Shut up. Self-vindicated New York Mets fans: Shut up. Whiny, self-vindicated Yankees fans: Shuts up, youse, too. Pontificating, pompous, bandwagon-hopping politicians: Please, please, please shut up. (Then please go away.) George Steinbrenner: Don't even think about it. Purple-haired people on the subway, welfare mothers under 20 with four kids, gays, lesbians, fat monkeys, Japanese women drivers, foreigners, and denizens of "Beiruts" all over America: Get ready. If his employers have any sense or fortitude, John Rocker is going to be spending a lot of time with y'all. As even the most venom-dripping among his fellow New York haters will now admit, Rocker has been a very bad boy lately, not to mention a very boneheaded one. His recent sociological observations, all dutifully scribbled by a bug-eyed interviewer from

Tuesday, Jan. 18, 2000 John Rocker's outburst needs more than psychological evaluation, should be used to spur discussion Christopher McLemore
Kansas State Collegian Just when baseball had began to overcome the racist imagery brought about by former Cincinnati Reds owner Marge Schott, along comes Atlanta Braves pitching sensation John Rocker. In the course of a few short weeks, Rocker has gone from hurling fireballs on the pitchers mound to slinging racial epithets at reporters. This guy has put his foot in his mouth so many times he's got a recipe for Nike casserole.

For those of you unaware of what is now known as the "John Rocker incident," a little background information is in order: while riding in a car with an anxious sports reporter, Rocker said bad things about homosexuals, Asians, immigrants, black people, your mother, the Pope, the Bible and Johnny Carson. Not exactly your typical Sunday cruise.

Baseball's bigot deserves your boos
STEVE SCHOLFIELD
Senior Sports Columnist
SAN DIEGO Tonight is an acid test for John Rocker, the Braves' new "Mouth from the South." It's also an acid test for baseball fans. Long about the ninth inning Rocker will sprint in from the bullpen to face the Padres at Qualcomm Stadium. If not tonight then Saturday. Or Sunday. This is an important weekend for Rocker, baseball's best-known bigot. The three-game set with the Padres represents the first time Rocker has pitched away from the friendly confines of Atlanta since the season began. By your applause, boos or indifference, you will let Rocker know if you think he said anything inaccurate or if he offended you with his remarks.

Welcome! to my Tribute to that "Bad Boy" of Baseball, Atlanta Braves closer John Rocker. I decided since there we're only negative sites out for him, I would create a fun and positive site for his fans to come and find info, quotes, pictures, links and much more.
I know some of you maybe asking, Why on earth would you want to create a page for John Rocker? Well.... besides the fact that he has the most beautiful blue eyes, or the cutest smile, or the sweetest southern accent. John is a VERY talented ball player and should not be judge by a mistake but on his ball playing ability.
My reason for creating this page was to show Rocker my support. It is human to make mistakes and John is human. We've all said and done things we've regretted. It's time for everyone to forgive and forget. It's time for the media to just BACK OFF and let John concentrate on what he does best, saving the game.

Go to the Forums or Chat Associated Press DALLAS The Texas Rangers sent erratic reliever John Rocker to the minors for the second time this season Tuesday, yet another setback in his troubled career. The Rangers, unhappy with the former Atlanta closer's performance against left-handed batters, optioned him to Triple-A Oklahoma and recalled left-hander Randy Flores. Rocker, however, thinks he can straighten himself out without a trip to the minors. "My number against lefties is 4-for-17 (with) one walk. Out of the four hits, one was an infield hit and two were broken-bat hits," said Rocker, pitching in a setup role this year instead of closing games. "It's a new situation for me."
