As you have all heard,Mark fessed up about past usage.Some people are saying that any player that cheats should be denied entry to the Hall of Fame.Goose Gossage says that Hank Aaron is the man.Not proven,but some have claimed Hank used "greenies"(benzedrine?)to extend his career.Apparently Roger Maris lost a considerable amount of hair in 1961...attributed to stress.There was no drug testing back then,is it fair to disqualify any player from entry to the Hall because of allegations or admitting to usage?How many have flown under the radar?

bud selig should be thanking him. baseball was in the tank back in those days. no one wanted to watch it. the homerun race made people watch the sport again.

plus u can bet every player was doing it back then. just some got caught and others didnt. no different then the Olympics in this present day

It was a vast conspiracy lol.
Everybody in baseball knew, from the commisioners to the coaches to all the players. Baseball was down and out after the strike, and the homerun race saved it.
Still pisses me off that Mac says AAS didn't help his numbers though.
It sure as **** helped everybody else.
