And the number of people who willing to leap to conclusions is sickening as well. Legal vs. illegal, and proven vs. insinuations has nothing to do with it. McGwire admitted taking legal steroids.

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

Yeah, and Willie Mays was what, 175 lbs? And Maris was a rail. So what? Those guys did it without steroids, legal or illegal.

You said that McGwire started as a tall skinny rookie whose career results should be asterisked because he bulked up later on.

But McGwire had tremendous power as a rookie, as I pointed out. He was already a great power hitter.

And you have blatantly ignored that point, which was my response to your McGwire comment, and started in talking about how Willie Mays was skinny.

Legal vs. illegal, and proven vs. insinuations has nothing to do with it.

It sure as hell does, and you, among others on these threads, as I said before, should maybe think for once that there is both wheat and chaff, and they should be sifted.
