If steroids supposedly made ARod great, then what, does he cycle off them every post-season? These magical, superman-creating steroids sure helped a lot in his last three playoffs series! 13 games, batting .159 with one home run.
Say what you will about regular season homerun records. But the steroids don't make something out of nothing.
And how many 'roided setup men and closers does he face? You think Aaron had to face a 98 mph in the 8th and 9th innings? Every single team has a middle-reliever like that now! Wicked curve balls, upper-90's fastballs, 7th, 8th, 9th innings... game one two 162!
It is what it is, indeed. It's baseball, and it's the way it's been. Let's not get too high and mighty here.
