He'd break the home-run record without using any substances to enhance his performance. He'd save baseball! I'm sure I heard that on ESPN numerous times. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure I heard that on ESPN numerous times.You listened to ESPN on the subject of baseball. That's where you went wrong. ESPN is alright for football and basketball..both college and pro. They are absolutely god-awful when it comes to baseball. Get your baseball info from the internet. Stay away from TV. They know nothing. Link to post Share on other sites
Ron_Mexico 4,238 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 You know what, I don't care. I'd guess a fair amount of these guys took something. I have no doubts. But at the same time, the pitchers were taking them as well.The last generation of players took greenies and reds, or Uppers and Downers. That's a fact. I have inside the clubhouse knowledge of this. In the 70's and even a tad before, football players were taking roid's Who's to say the baseball players weren't back then? Nobody? You know why people take that stuff? Money for one, but to keep up also. I just don't care, and I think the guys with the juiced up stats still belong in the Hall. For one, they belong because it's supposed to be a place for baseball history, and like it or not, it's a part of baseball's past, present and future, second, plenty of old timers did some shady stuff. It's just sign of the times. Ty Cobb pushed a black dude down a set of stairs for being black and either killed him or nearly killed him. He's in the Hall. It's just the 24 hour news cycle in the hypocrisy of it all. You think Mickey Mantle and Billy Martin would've survived 5 minutes in this gotcha journalism society? Hell no.Bottom line, I just don't care. Link to post Share on other sites

byaaatch 0 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 steroids go way further back than any of us probably even would think. I had a friend who played minor league ball in the mid 80's with the angels. Back in the days of Wally Joyner and Dave Parker. He only played in the bigs when they use to have the freeway challenge between the dodgers. But he told me roids were a huge thing used back then too. He said you would be so surprised of guys who used roids. He said he has used it before also. Later on, about 5-7 years ago, when we were playing in an adult baseball league he took roids for one cycle and just lifted like a beast for about a month. It was truely amazing how strong he got. From barely being warning track power guy he was going yard pretty regularly. For a-rod I am sad to hear that he did use but at the same time unlike so many other guys who have said they used, Arods numbers haven't slipped. Whether that makes it okay or not I don't think so but just saying. Link to post Share on other sites

BigDMcGee 3,367 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I actually like ARod more now after watching that interview, than I have since he left Seattle. He was more honest and open about his Steroid use, and the motivations for taking it, than any active player has been since this whole steroid thing started. I hope ARod is the catalyst for people waking the fck up about baseball and sports in general. Great athletes who achieve the height of their sport, who don't take performance enhancing drugs, are the exception not the rule at this point, people need to wake up and stop living in a dream world.
