Since 1996, 13 players have accomplished this feat, proving once again how steroids have changed the game [Reply to #2906] 4/4/06, 6:28am Steroids have been in the game since at least the early 1980's. Remember Brian Downing and Larry Herndon? Writers used to gush over how their "lifting weights" made them better ballplayers. They looked different from the vast majority of players during their era, but today they would fit right in with the majority of players today. The use of steroids exploded from the early 1990's on, when not just a few players used them, but probably the majority did. [Guest11453 (IP: 69.141.76.197) from Unknown/??] Replies:
