Ben do we know which 50s-70s players used used amphetamines- any of the classics? mantle? mays/ aaron? or others in the HOF?

Just found this on baseball reference
" in the 1970s and users included Willie Stargell, Dave Parker, Jim Bouton and Bill Madlock. Willie Mays is frequently alleged to have used them as well " or this on espn
" A retired Tony Gwynn spoke openly of baseball's amphetamine problem in 2003, estimating for The New York Times that 50 percent of position players were using them routinely, many of them before almost every game. (Gwynn subsequently was blasted by those in uniform at the time for, in their opinion, speaking out of school.)"
