Group from baseball's Steroid Era on this year's HOF ballot

[Kirkland Laing]

But the issue isn't just steroids & HGH it's the amphetimines these guys were on too. 162 games is a long season, plus the playoffs it's even longer...those drugs that got guys up and got them focused, those are PEDS too

Not to the extent where it doubled home run production for some batters. Forget speed which was and probably still is widespread. The stats jumps in the steroid era are what should be dealt with.

No actually they pop players for that now'a'days too. Trust me, in order to "get up" for every single game it helps.


But nah the BIG issue in baseball is "Why are players using smokeless tobacco"?

Kirk,

How did a guy like you (this isn't pejoratively speaking, just I know a lot of US born people that don't follow baseball) get into MLB?

I feel a chart coming in response.

I feel the same way. Baseball, more than most team sports, reveres statistics. I've never seen a sport so consumed by them. And just when you think you know all the stats in baseball, they come up with new ones. So to see juiced up players make a mockery out of some of the most cherished records of all time, is a bit difficult to swallow.
