Steroids didn’t even cross my mind when looking at games played compared to home runs, but it did make me realize how fixed baseball must be. How does a baseball player who hadn’t broken the 50HR mark in one season before 2001 all of a sudden hit 73? Then it drops down to the 40 mark. Granted, he didn’t play as many games for a couple seasons, but he was still on pace for like 30-40 HR’s.
Then you go back a few years ago with the Sosa and McGuire bullshit…
