Chris Sale...just think he would have ripped up those jerseys with his bare hands instead of using scissors.

This is great.

Big35Hurt · 04-10-2017, 09:20 PM

Oil Can Boyd comes to mind too....with steroids he might have broken through the 150-pound barrier.

Cardshack14 · 04-10-2017, 09:41 PM

Babe Ruth

Nelson Cr- oh wait....

Part of the romanticism of baseball was being able to look back and compare players from different eras. If you let players do steroids legally that aspect of the game is completely gone. It's also parallels one of the reasons I don't like watching football. Because you're cheering for someone who is going to have a horrible life outside of the game. Maybe steroids affect you less long term than playing football. But I'd still feel weird cheering for people who are doing something who will make their long term health worse.

Also bet 50% of the players mentioned took steriods. At least 25% percent. Bo Jackson ha ha ha. Steroids was/is not a substance that automatically makes you be healthy.

jcmel323 · 04-10-2017, 11:48 PM

i'll go with carlos delgado. He was so close to have 500 HR.

carlo16 · 04-11-2017, 06:24 AM

Maybe I missed the sarcasm but Nomar didn't take steroids????

Nyfancam01 · 04-11-2017, 06:34 AM

Felix Pie... Maybe he would be a legend and not "THE FOREVER PROSPECT"

smapdi · 04-11-2017, 08:30 AM

Mickey Mantle. Maybe he could have avoided or come back from some of his injuries faster and better. Even just legal modern medical technology and nutrition would have helped him tremendously. And a less self-destructive attitude.

andyzk3 · 04-11-2017, 09:00 AM

Can you imagine how far home runs would have been hit if Adam Dunn was on PED'S???

Yeah, I'm not even sure how you would make steroids legal for ball players when they're illegal for everyone else. You could have doctors prescribe them, but you'd need someone like Dr. Nick from the Simpsons.

Everyone so this wouldn't be a discussion

To think about the catchers that he would have destroyed storming home...

fulltritty · 04-11-2017, 06:23 PM

None of them.

CanadianKid · 03-20-2023, 04:59 PM

Intersting topic.

Ok, for me it'd be Stanton, imagine him on PED's he'd be 6'6 250 pounds and crush balls at high velocity but down side would be the dead give away of being lean as well, getting bigger and add muscle at older ages and injury prone... oh wait.

discodanman45 · 03-20-2023, 05:05 PM

If Darryl Strawberry picked steroids over cocaine, we would have seen an all time great.

eastbayak · 03-20-2023, 05:06 PM

Barry Bonds

to decide who I wished took steroids I would first have to know for a fact who didn't use steroids. That's the dilemma. A question that is impossible to answer

Boostedwrx · 03-20-2023, 06:14 PM

All, should be legal - would be a lot more fun to watch.
