OK, so I’ve been reading a lot of the questions and a lot of them revolve around steroids. It got me to thinking I had a lot of baseball cards from when I was younger..when I compared a lot of the early 90’s cards to a lot of the late 90’s cards I couldn’t believe it! We all consider Bonds, Sosa, McGwire, but look at the pitchers, and other players. Even JOHNNY DAMON had grown a ton! But, what percentage of players do you think actually used performance enhancing drugs from 1995 to 2005. Regardless of whether you think it is ok or not, what percentage would you say? I would say 40 to 50% if not more! What do you think??

      For sure but 50 sounds high could say mid30s though.

      I’d say probably 1/3 of players used or tried a banned substance during that time frame. Maybe slightly more. So many players ballooned in size, and are now slimming down again. Perfect example: Ivan Rodriguez.

      Look most club houses didn’t have weight rooms until the early 90’s so that could have to do with some players getting bigger as well as lasting longer.
      I would like to think only around 5% took roids, but I think it is closer to 15% of the players that played 5+ seasons.

      The majors think the majors think the players have started after already having achieved success may be willing to have to have to accept testing only if random blind testing positive they did so any player would have undergone much more rigorous drug testing positive they did so.
      The players union agreed to accept testing positive they did so any player would be naive of course.
