Those aren't remotely the same man, I honestly hope you're smarter than that.
There's little IF ANY evidence that roids helped pitchers. Look at homerun totals since steroids were banned and runs per game for that matter....it's a pitcher's league now. And I ask if it's a coincidence. Babe Ruth hit his yes against white pitchers but in bigger ballparks AND in the dead ball era!

THere is no evidence to suggest roids helps boxer either then, can you name a great who actually failed a post fight test in a significant bout? As I said I don't have a clue about baseball, I just find a huge difference between cheating to gain an advantage over an open playing field consisting of the worlds best, and playing in a league which doesn't even allow them to compete. Who was the greatest NBA player before the league allowed blacks to play??! I'm not saying it's the same as baseball as again I don't know, but it would be a joke to even make an argument that anyone is in the discussion.
Ruth statistics were against white players only. But that's cause blacks weren't allowed in the league. It doesn't mean he never played or have success against players from other races. Cuz he did on both counts. Ruth was very well respected by the blacks
