I grew up watching Hank Aaron and Willie Mays chase Ruth's record in the early 1970's. Aaron was simply the best, and he still doesn't get the credit he deserves. No steroids, average size, and yet he consistently hit 40+ homers per year batting against the likes of Bob Gibson, Steve Carlton, and other HOF pitchers. And the baseball back then was like hitting a bean bag compared to the juiced ball MLB uses today.

With the rampant steroid use today, players have lost their muscle flexibility. That's ok with MLB, they want to see 500 ft. homers, not base stealing. We'll never see the likes of a Rickey Henderson or Lou Brock again.

With the phenomenal bat speeds generated by steroid pumped players, you have to credit Curt Schilling, Roger Clemens, and Randy Johnson for being three of the best pitchers ever, and for doing it in this era.

When I saw Gary Sheffield and Sammy Sosa go from skinny, fast base stealers in the early 1990's to looking like Pro Wrestler Steve Austin, ya have to realize somethin' ain't right....
