Alas, Barry Bonds, the home run king who surpassed Hank Aaron, also admitted to unwittingly using steroids.
Sammy Sosa, meanwhile, maintains that he never failed a drug test.
Sosa’s answer — that he never failed a test for PEDs — echoes responses he’s given in the recent past. In a 2018 interview with ESPN’s Jeremy Schapp, Sosa said he “never had a failed test in the country” and “never missed any test at the major league level.”
But, …The New York Times reported in 2009 that Sosa did test positive for a performance-enhancing drug in a 2003 conducted by the MLB that allowed players to remain anonymous.
In reality, drugs have always been a part of baseball, whether it was steroids or “greenies” amphetamines. Even Aaron, who surpassed the Babe only to be bested by Bonds, admitted he used greenies once.
Could also be because of the short time it took for him to be the home run record holder. He was drafted in 2016, just 6 years ago. He became Rookie of the Year in 2017, 5 years ago. 🙂
Last Thursday nights game between the Red Sox and Yankees on Fox was the top rated baseball game of the year.
Aaron Judge’s story is what makes baseball great. Everyone wants to see him beat Marris’ record of 61.
I am a Red Sox fan and I want to see him beat it.
Go, Judge, go!!
