IMHO most players are or were at least on HGH. Most being the majority. There are plenty of people who aren't and I'm sure they have mediocre numbers. It was way more interesting to watch a game when the hitter and pitcher were juiced.

The drugs really didn't hurt anyone but the individual player and of course the record books which hurt the baseball purists which in turn have held the game back and kept it from evolving to compete with the NFL in terms of popularity.

Bring back the roids and make the game watchable again!

Using steroids is wrong for so many reasons. It is difficult these days to find a good role model for kids we don't need to tell them it is ok to not work hard and just use drugs to get better. Not only is this taking the lazy way out but it will also kill you and that's ok to be famous and make money.

Your absolutely correct! I was just referring to using a sports figure as a role model. These days parents are the ones that have to step up and be a role model and by saying that using steroids is ok is sending the wrong message.

Ok so lets examine that for a minute. Our society is essentially for the time being a capitalist society. Success in the athletic world, for better or worse, is usually based on making bank by putting up numbers.

Steroids, HGH, clear, cream what have you is a way to achieve that. Yes it does have serious physical side effects but so does working for a living in a steel plant or a coal mine. In the innercities it might be gang related activities that shortens your lifespan, steroids are tame in comparison.

The plus side is that you can put up monster numbers, heal faster, jump higher and maybe long enough to make your big payday.
