[I Don't believe 'roids necessarily make you a better baseball player. ]
You could be right. I suppose this could be a discussion within itself.
If a guy like Bonds, with great hand/eye coordination hits a ball as a 185 lb lead-off guy he normally gets a single, maybe a double. As Bonds did in his early days. If that same guy with the same hand/eye coordination on 'roids hits a ball...it goes out of the park. Early in his career, he was a good hitter who could play defense. Now he is a great hitter who can't play defense to save his soul. Is he a better player? He puts butts in the seats...that makes owners happy.
I pray these guys don't have serious medical conditions that end their lives prematurely. If so, do you think they will believe it was worth it?
My biggest problem with the juice is the following: If a guy wants to risk his health to be a better playa, that's his business. If his decisions mean other guys that want to compete have to risk their health too to keep up, that's wrong. Criminally wrong.
And McGwire is a punk.
