Not accusing Aaron, but corking the bat was prevalent in those days. Players "popping greenies" was also very common. The integrity of the game has been compromised for quite some time.

On point.

There's no doubt in my mind that these guys did something to cut a corner or two.

Since there's alot of Cubs fans here and I know he's a favorite of a couple of people around here.....

Ryne Sandberg hit 40 HR's in 1990. lol Hit 26 the following year. Why the spike? Why the hefty drop the next year?

Sandberg weighed 175 lbs. lol

Which is why I find it hilarious at how sanctimonious and hypocritical the league and its fans are about its records and steroids effect on them
