    Watching McGwire walk out of the dugout holding his bat that looked like a drum stick and then cranking out HR after HR was so amazing... He has always been my favorite MLB player since he was with the A's. Him vs Sosa was one of the most entertaining moments in sports history alongside MJ and the Bulls.

    Yes, but Selig and the players put themselves in that position because of the 1994 strike. I have friends that still aren’t the same fans of Baseball they were back in 1994. That is when the NFL truly took over as the National Pastime. Yes, McGwire and Sosa 1998 Homerun chase put MLB back on the map, but the long-term problems of the game were still there.

    As a Chicagoan, summer of 1998 was one of the greatest of my life. Sammy Sosa made the “Loveable Loser” Cubs relevant again, packed the stands at Wrigley, boosted broadcast ratings & gave baseball fans a story to root for! The Chicago metropolitan area went nuts for Sosa! My neighbor built a “Sosa HR Count” scoreboard on the roof of his barn. Fans came from EVERYWHERE to see his barn! Mark McGwire got the record, but Sammy was one of US & we loved him. Such a great summer… Now the Cubs want him to apologize. THE Cubs benefited financially from his merchandise, performance & whatever he did to achieve it…. Fans had a blast watching at home, listening on the radio and sitting in the stands… An apology? Guy deserves a statue I don’t blame him for refusing… I would too..

I would have had to dive over the rail into the seats to catch it but I could have caught it because it was at the end of it's long ride from his bat and barely moving.

    Barry Bonds was the greatest 30/30 man before roids. Strawberry was the greatest line drive hitter I ever saw. He should have hit 50 HRS and can understand it driving him nuts with pressure because he would hit one or two balls a game off the back fence and it sounded like a shotgun going off as the ball hit the wall.

And THAT is who the Mets front office guy was talking about.

    In the 70's, drug tests were non existant. The Pittsburgh Steelers introduced steroids to the NFL, but we didn't know what they were. Either did the Steelers! Center Mike Webster went to a power lifting meet, and met a few Russian power lifters. THEY gave him some, and swore by them! webster informed his team mates, and soon, the entire Steeler offensive line were doing roids! Unaware of the long term effects. But it wasn't their fault. There was no policy on them!

    I think the reason why they’re trying to get rid of it is bc of the health complications involved further down the line.

    PEDs do not help hand-eye coordination the way they're saying. In MLB the advantage is that it increases bat speed which gives a hitter more time to commit/not commit to a pitch. Bonds had an outstanding and compact swing so the increased bat speed gave him even more time before deciding to commit to a pitch which is why he batted .370 in 2002, very few curveballs were going to fool him.

    Bonds was so ridiculously good. He just didn't miss. It was surreal like. I remember sheffield having one of quickest bats I've ever seen a player possess .. and of course no one will beat griffey's swing. A thing of art. The most beautiful, most powerful, ridiculously torqued, non violent swing you will ever witness with that subtle upper cut. Wow. So mechanically smooth, natural and fluid. I still don't know why lefty swing looks prettier. It just does. And, yes, I always said, let them roid put, wind the ball tighter. I don't even watch baseball anymore. I wonder if Griffen did it though. He flirted with a few almost 60HR seasons a few yrs in a row.
