The entire league has been hitting HRs at an unprecedented rate since 1994. It's still happening, well after the steroid crackdown.
There are two other related major changes that haven't even been mentioned:
The baseball itself. I highly doubt it's a coincidence that power numbers permanently went up from the moment the '94-'95 strike was putting the future of the game in big trouble.
And the culture change (throughout baseball, basketball, and football) of modern dietary focus and working out more religiously that started around time. Obviously athletes in general have been more extra bulked up with ridiculously low body fat in the last 25 years.
Stanton hit 59 just three years ago. Not that far from the biggest HR accomplishments (by only three players, no less) during the steroid craze.
Sure, steroids clearly help. But there's a lot more to the "video game" numbers of the last 25 years than that
