Love it. Where did that come from? An under-the-covers theme here, yes. Without the whole truth, who are we to castigate the roid guys. How will we ever know how many of the stats were chemically aided? If not, then educate the fan base about the tenors of the times and evaluate the importance of the numbers as they wish. Never heard about the rumors. Actually, I still don't know the names of all the players involved in the coke and smoke scandals of the late 70s and early 80s. Run-and-Stun. Love it.
