baseball players were forced into peds. spring traing 8 am weight lifting, we were paired off, no supervision, no idea on what weights positon players or pitcher should concentrate on... muscles were tight, swollen, ripped apart, right after that we're on the field fighting for a position, i was a SS, i rely on being limber and quick lateral movement.. if i knew then what i know now i would have retained councel for such negligence, i could not perform under those conditions, i was released that ST after helping my team win a championship only 6 months prior... hench the introduction of peds into game, ball players cannot lift weights, maintain such size and strength in a 162 game schedule with half season on road, where would they find the time to spend in a gym? this is why i feel selig is 100% responsible for what went on, they wanted more offense in game and weight lifting was their idea of it!
