Roger Maris led the AL in slugging and RBIs in 1960. His OPS+ that year was 160. In 1961, his OPS+ after hitting 61 home runs was 167. He essentially had the same season twice, with the caveat that he hit 61 home runs the second time. And if you don't believe Roger went through hell that season, I have several books and articles I could suggest that might shine a light on what he went through.

I honestly don't get people that think professional athletes are PED free. Drug test are way more of an IQ test than a drug test. Just look at how many times Lance Arrmstrong tested positive. Oh that's right he never failed an IQ, I mean drug test.

I just don't know what you're suggesting about being tall. There are a lot of tall people in the world. These are professional athletes who have been training their whole lives. Why would they not be in great shape regardless of using PEDs? I don't think it's unusual for an athlete to be in great shape.

Ryan Ludwick had by far his two Best years batting in front of the 2008 MVP and the 2009 MVP - when he went to San Diego in 2010 his batting average dropped from 281 to 211 . He never had another year remotely close to those seasons in his career .
Roger Maris clearly benefited batting in front of a switchhitting monster
