Initially the hitters probably did it first for homerun power
Then to keep up the pitchers started doing it
Finally, the backup catcher and infielders were jacking 10 homeruns a year just to keep a roster spot


I think the hitters started after the pitchers, to be honest. Steroids would seem to benefit pitchers more than hitters (recovery time) in the short run.

before people figured out how to balance roid and HGH use steroids tended to result in a lot of tendon and connective tissue problems so I tend to think guys like Canseco, Caminiti, and Incavelia (sp?) were using a while before the pitchers caught on
