Pedro was on the juice as well. He was on the list of 104 players who tested positive for steroids in 2003.

You know what?

I don’t care. I just don’t. Every player in the league was juicing. Did it change the trajectory of guys careers? Absolutely. But I just don’t care anymore. The games were played, the runs scored, and the outs recorded. If Bonds is running around looking like late 80s Schwarzenegger and everyone else looks like Napoleon Dynamite, then we can have a different conversation.

So let’s stop acting like baseball just didn’t happen for 20 years.

Watched every single ALCS and NLCS game in 2003. Such an incredible postseason. Early 2000s sports were on another level across the board. NFL, college football, NBA

2001 World Series played in the shadow of 9/11 is arguably the greatest ever. 2004, 2005 had the Astros runs.

Beltless khakis were stylish.

WTF showing how fricking dumb he is yet again...

Pedro led the league in HBP in the NL in his first full season as a starter.

I'm embarrassed for you yet again, but keep up the good fight against 777

I wouldn't say every player was juicing. Frank Thomas was loudly calling out the steroid use in real time back the 90's early 2000's but nobody wanted to hear it. He knew there was no way some of the dudes who were normally half his size and not close to as good of hitters as him were hitting more homeruns than him. He was naturally blessed with size, athleticism, hand eye coordination (SEC tight end) so he was one of the few that had no need for the stuff. I'm sure there were others but probably north of 75% of the league was on the stuff

MF'er didn't bean batters his first couple of years (in the NL) but threw at them with impunity after joining the Red Sox.


dude gave up a perfect game to bean a guy in Montreal.

one game he plunked a dude, then PEDRO charged the mound when got drilled later in the game.
