      flipnotrab
      Agreed that drugs won’t improve hand eye coordination. They didn’t use drugs for that. Drugs weren’t needed for that. Drugs was the difference between a 300 ft fly ball and a 350ft+ homerun. The difference between a 350ft homer and a 400ft homer, and so on. Big homers and plenty of homers got you big contracts too. Drugs helped your strength, muscle fibers, and “quick twitch” muscles. Baseball is a game of inches right? Well, if you’re juicin’ and extra strong with a quicker than avg bat, you can wait a tick longer for a pitch which in turn lets you see the ball for a tick longer. It’s similar to seeing 95+ mph as if it were 85-90 mph...because their added strength & power allows them to wait longer. In baseball, that’s a huge difference!

      @bobbyowsley4604 5 лет назад +14

      @@douglas61920 I agree that the reason is obvious, but the definition of cheating is slightly skewed here as well. For one, there wasn't a rule against anabolics in baseball at that time. For another, MLB - the curators of the HOF - didn't seem to care one iota if those guys were dropping syringes next to the bat donut in the on-deck circle before every at bat. Baseball cashed in on "the chase" and promoted the living daylights out of it to breathe life back into the game even when it became apparent that something was afoul. Not one, but TWO guys zeroing in on the single season HR record at the same time? They knew and they were all too happy to hide behind the lack of a specific rule against it. In fact, it wasn't until Canseco's book came out that baseball really felt pressure from Congress to institute rules.

      Baseball is just as if not more of a mental sport than a physical sport and idk how prevelant stimulants are or were in the mlb but I knew a ton of kids in the high school and college level who took stimulants like Adderall to give them a faster reaction time and sharper hand eye coordination and whatnot, I'd definitely choose a stimulant like Adderall over steroids if I had to choose one to cheat lol but I played clean and was really solid, I focused more on making contact and getting base hits and rbis instead of trying to crush the ball for a homerun every swing which is what so many kids tend to do

      Garret Anderson??? That’s who you mentioned with Mark, Sammy, Barry, and Griffey?
      No Big Hurt? No Bagwell? No Sheffield or Man-Ram?

    Even tho this man cheated it’s still hard af to hit that many Hr in the majors. You have to have more than power to hit that ball. Mark really was a great player.
