Nut real life doesn't translate to sports very well. In sports, if you start exceeding your normal expectation people are thrilled. If you can maintain it, they are delirious. Some may wonder if you are cheating or not, but overall, no one really cares. They just want to see you performing better. Perfect example, McGwire. He got caught with PEDs in his locker (yes, legal at the time but frowned up). Everyone just below it after his lame explination. At the time of Brady Anderson, there was even more indifference. I don't remember a single article being written questioning whether he juiced or not. It was just proof positive that the ball juiced.

Track is bad sport to try and explain steroid use and why people would suspect it. In track, it's all about your body and conditioning. The ONLY possible way to cheat that has a major impact is steroids, so there is no reason to examine anything else. In baseball, there are multiple factors. You have a bat, ball and probably a few other things I am missing that can have major impacts on HR totals.
