well you were there....was he a legend with the Angels?....

Like hero, the term legendary is too generously applied. He was a good mid level baseball player, and a very good play by play announcer.

But legendary is reserved for people who are synonomous with a sport. Murray Walker and F1 as a for instance.

It's up for interpretation, I'm a legend because I'm still breathing after all
these years....IMO.
I sure you will disagree with that. See? It's all good

Using your criteria, Barry Bonds is a legend.

Nope. Steroids precludes that.

if it wasnt for the doping he would have been....

If it wasn't for the 'roids, he wouldn't have had that kind of career.
