The killer is.... Some of the guys that did them or are accused of using them, did not need them and were already amongst the best in the game (like Bonds).
Lakers fans don't seem to mind the league cheated to get them their three-peat in 2000-02. I would mind though.
I don't think he did either. I think he was the prime time player that was clean. But, i can't say definitively. I mean, Peyton Manning was involved in a steroids scandal. Who would have thought?
Yeah. It sucks thinking about that. The What if of that 2nd decade is huge... he would have probably broken the HR record and still be beyond Bonds. (I still consider Aaron to be the true #1)
I try not to compare generations. They're really not comparable if you consider all the factors (rules, stadium sizes. the available types of PED's in each generation, the fact guys train year-round now, medical treatments now available, etc). And now, they're claiming the balls are juiced. Even the players are saying it. But the what if..... that's why they play the games.
I hear you. I don't compare generations between players... but Griffey's second half vs. first half is the epitome of what if.
