Did steroids really change baseball?

Has there ever been any hard evidence on Sosa, other than the circumstantial evidence that makes everyone 100 percent sure he was juiced to the gills?

Just wondering because he always gets grouped with McGwire, Bonds, Clemens, and A-Rod on the Hall of Shame list, and not on the Griffey, Thomas, Thome list of guys who presumably did not.

 

Seriously?

 

I'm not saying it's unfair to say he juiced.

I'm just wondering if there was a concrete connection to steroids and Sosa that I don't remember.

Everyone else who is presumed to have juiced was eventually connected via a dirty test, grand jury testimony, etc., etc.

 

Sosa 1993-1997 = 170 HRs, 34 per year, career high of 40
Sosa 1998-2002 = 292 HRs, 58+ per year, LOW of 49

That's proof enough for me.

 

Again.

I am 150 percent sure that Sammy Sosa juiced.

I am asking if there was ever any hard connection established between Sosa and PEDs. Out of curiosity.

I am not passive-aggressively trying to suggest that he did not use steroids. He did. Unquestionably. And a lot of them.

 

not, no English?

 

Thanks. Now I remember that story. I thought there was something like that, but couldn't recall what it was.

 

I wish some of you on this board had been at the wedding feast when Jesus turned the water into wine. I'd like to hear you spin your way out of that.

 

Or idiot savant.

 

So I guess he just used steroids that one year. After that he said: "Wow, these steroids sure made me a lot better. I'd better stop using them, before anyone gets suspicious."

Same with Bonds, who went from 49-73-46-45-45. (Don't tell me about walks. AB/HR: 9.8/6.5/8.8/8.7/8.3)

And Roger Maris, who went from 16 to 39 to 61 to 33, 23, 26.

Don't read anything into my comments beyond this sentence:
