11. I'd Be Good With That

It happened. It's part of baseball history. The fans, although probably unaware of what was happening, were happy. Even though i knew about the suspicions, the McGwire/Sosa head to head was exciting. I guess i just didn't care that much about why. I suppose i could rationalize that since skinny college kid McGwire hit 49 home runs in his rookie year, that it was possible 10 years or so later that he could have become a better, stronger hitter.

Note on that: If McGwire really was juicing, why the heck was he using andro? The steroidal effect of that is about a thousandth of actual anabolic steroids.
