Error 0:

When you look at the 90’s and early 2000’s you think of the juiced up beasts that would step to the plate and make baseballs launch like never before. Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, Slammin’ Sammy, these guys were superstars. When the whole PED situation got out of hand and players were being exposed left and right, it left a black mark on baseball’s legacy. Anti-doping and PED policies grew and it changed baseball for years. The names of these individuals slandered and never the same again, but is this really fair to these players?
