ElwoodCuse Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 maybe we should learn just exactly if steroids make you a better baseball player firstpeople act like this is a given and it's nowhere near being conclusive, there are a TON of factors that affect the stats of an era--strike zone, quality of players, ballpark dimensions, the baseball itself, even that giant elbow pad that Bonds was allowed to wear which let him lean into the strike zone with impunity.http://steroids-and-baseball.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether or not steroids improved a player, why else would you take them except to try to improve your performance? And just look at particularly power stats over the last few years. Way down on the steroid era. Is that just coincidence? And obviously one trial isn't going to show the extent of drug taking in the game. But add the Clemens trial in and what's already in the public domain and we would have a much clearer idea of the extent. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
