Ted Williams is an excellent example of masking steroids. Look at the Splendid Splinter and know that if it weren't for roids he would have been about 35-40 pounds lighter and would have only hit 260 lifetime homeruns and batted about .300 rather than his credited lifetime average. Surely a skinny guy like that couldn't have done it on pure skill and ability...

Pitchers on roids? I tend to agree with Prewarsports on this subject. Look at Pedro Martinez, he's a poster child for the "put me on roids because I sure don't look like I should have the natural ability to heave the ball" look.

It's almost impossible to compare eras but you have to admit the game appears to have been much more so (a game) "back in the day"...

Hank Aaron - Home Run King
Barry Bonds - Great player but we'll all wonder - did he or didn'he (I think we all know the answer).

I suppose in this day of "at all costs" we should look up to Barry as a role model. He still doesn't have a WS ring (unless he bought another players ring on ebay).
