Lol.
Babe Ruth is an "American icon" he was a fat, drunk bastard. He may have been a decent man but nobody can tell me he didn't take steroids. He was an old white woman before he died. He had all the side effects of steroids including breasts hanging to his knees.
Steroids were just being developed back then and were extreamly dangerous. Who is to say this guy didn't allow himself to be a guinea pig?
Yeah Barry did steroids. So did mark mcguire. So did everyone for that matter or so it seems.
I think its a corny debate now. "steroid era"? Steroids are nothing new. What the guys were or are taking now are new undetectable stuff.
Do you know how hard it is to get through 4 regular half court games of basketball? Try 82 48 minute games. Baseball has 1,000 games to play with basically no days off. Guys are gonna take whatever they can get away with to get by.
Old bastards take Viagra to keep up with the young chics after things don't work like they used to.
People will do anything if they can to get what they want.

Make rules. If they break them fine, they should pay. If there were no rules in place and everyone knew this stuff was going on then what is the problem now?
Come on man.
Look at the conditioning of baseball players.
They will not survive 3 min of basketball.
Most of the game they just standing around or sitting on the bench.
I think the only sport which is less athletic is Golf and may be Poker.
But the mental energy you lose in Poker much bigger that all energy baseball players have.
I can understand steroids in basketball, hockey, and football. But baseball... come on.
