Hall of Fame pitcher Goose Gossage isn’t afraid to hold back. Gossage, who had an interview with USA TODAY Sports, spent 22 seasons in the majors and was a part of all eight of baseball’s work stoppages until this year’s lockout. Gossage felt the need to blast every part of today’s game, including MLB commissioner Rob Manfred.

"I hate that mother (expletive), You know how much I hate him? I called (Hall of Fame chairman) Jane Forbes Clark before the induction last year and said, 'Jane, I don’t know where you stand with this guy, but I may punch Rob Manfred right in the (expletive) nose and spatter his (expletive) nose all over his (expletive) face right in the lobby of your hotel."
"If we start letting guys in that used steroids, you’re saying it’s OK for our kids to do it then because the stars did it, That’s why Congress got involved in the first place because baseball wasn’t policing it. We never should let (Barry) Bonds or (Roger) Clemens in, either."
"It breaks my heart to see what has happened to this game, They tore my heart out and cut it up. ... They ruined the game. I can’t even watch a baseball game."
