    Not to the baseball purist. I, myself, love a great pitching duel. I don't mind a 4-3, 3-1 type game. A dominant pitching outing, to me, is more impressive than a 190 lb OF hitting a 450 ft bomb.

    That's just me
    Sosa, McGwire, and Bonds were all well-over 200lbs. The seemingly short, skinny players[compared to other players] are the one's who are actually 185-190lbs. For example Brett Gardner from the Yankees is billed at 5' 11" 190lbs and he doesn't look that big on TV compared to the other players. Omar Vizquel, Roberto Alomar, Dustin Pedroia to name a few. Those guys are/were 180-190lbs.

    Sammy Sosa was actually 190 as a 20 year old, when he was skinny in the Expos. Bonds was 190lbs when he was a relatively skinny player. When those two were roiding, they were billed at 230lbs. McGwire was as big as 250lbs in his prime roiding years. The thing with McGwire is that he started pretty big as a power hitter and 40-50 home run guy without Roids.

        i've always felt that more than half of the boxers are on something,i mean think about it,this is a tough sport,by the time you turn 30 you start declining,atleast some do,you try to make as much money as possible,if some people kill for money cheating for money is nothing,i mean in some fights we talking a million dollars,half a million,that can change someones life for ever,and imagine getting away with it for a while and winning important fights then getting paid good.,,but of course once they get caught it's like "how did that happen?"...lol,nobody is that dumb

            They weren't' too specific with it. They just said Anabolic Steroid, which sounds bad.

              Ho hum, nothing to see here. This has been going on for 3 decades now. Testing is just getting more stringent (finally).
