Are you kidding me? Are you suggesting that steroids is just a self-esteem enhancer that makes athletes think they're stronger? OF COURSE IT MADE HIM HIT THE BALL HARDER.
The key words here are “hit the ball”. That has to be done first and how many other do you see hitting the ball like Barry even if theirs don’t go over the fence. Give the man some credit for crying out loud. You go out and see how many big league pitchers you can even hit once. Believe me there are a whole bunch of pros out there that can’t do it well either. (but Barry can)
