If Babe Ruth and Henry Aaron didn't use it, then yes. Asterisk McGwire, too. He's another one who, like Bonds, was a tall skinny rookie and by the end of his career was a hulking behemoth. It's just not right. I have been coaching kids' baseball teams for ten years and I don't like to think these kids feel they have to take steroids in order to have a shot at stardom or a scholarship.

Yeah, baseball should "asterisk" 1990 to 2004.

How about Sammy Sosa and his corked bat?

You mean when he hit 49 home runs his rookie year? "Tall skinny rookie" had a little power back then.

The amount of ignorance and willingness to condemn without proof on baseball threads is sickening. No one seems to care about legal vs. illegal, proven guilt vs. insinuation.
