Legend
Silver Level
Who says that the players who "paved" the way didn't have their own dirty little secrets? I'm not saying they did but the
media and testing where never as present as they are now. Secondly where is the line drawn, certain legal supplements can give a player an advantage over others but why are they kosher? People need to get over this steroid shot already, they bumped up testing now to deal with it but before that they did not and players did what they had to do. You don't know if these so called legends did not/ would not do the same
Ok let me address the bold. 1.Aspirin, alcohol, weed, extra-marital affairs. None of the mentioned (if these players were involved in any one of these) is performance enhancing. Unless you're considering Wade Boggs lol 2.We'll get over this steroid shot as soon as they stop giving them. And if you think it's all at the pro level...think again and check around. If you're not interested enough let me know, be glad to research and google you plenty of examples.3. You say that so casually..."players did what they had to do"
Well I doubt every player took steroids or "legal" supplements. So how do you feel about those who didn't and competed against those who did?
4. SO CALLED? Dude seriously, Robinson and Aaron...so called? Do you know baseball or are you just here to pretend you know Google is a wonderful thang. And it's obvious it wasn't availabe or if it was they did not partake. For example...check out Barry Bonds as a Pirate (early on in his career) and then go find pics/vids of him as a Giant. (Funny how that classic home run swing of his in the video only produced a can of corn) Then do the same for Hank Aaron. Notice the difference?
