Let's see... there's 2 MVPs with freakish bodies who ADMITTED (confessed, owned up, proof positive, said it was so) that they took steroids: Ken Caminiti and Jose Canseco.
And that guy who suddenly and bizarrely hit 50 home runs that year, Brady Anderson; wasn't he known for his freakish body?
And those guys who suddenly destroyed Maris' record (McGwire, Sosa, Bonds)...aren't all three known for their freakish bodies? (And where IS McGwire these days, anyway? I wonder what he looks like...)
And isn't is funny how the formerly freakish Jason Giambi shows up to spring training looking like a scarecrow, now that the heat is on him? Hmmm...
Asterisks for all of them.

I wonder how the Maris family feels now..after being trotted around to celebrate the breaking of Roger's record by men who were chemically enhancing themselves to do so.

McGwire didn't take steroids, he too ANDRO, and he was quite open about it. He kept the bottle openly visible in his locker, and he said multiple times in interviews that it was the reason he bulked up so much in his later years.
Andro, was banned by all sports except MLB. McGwire said he started taking it to bulk out to try and prevent the huge spat of injuries that were hampering his career.
Lumping him in with the anabolic and designer steroid losers is a little disengenuois. Camaniti didn;t admit it until he failed a drug test, and Jose admitted it after he retired to hawk his "tell-all" book. Bonds and his homies are all denying it right and left. McGwire never denied he took ANDRO.
