You're making an assumption of guilt based on his ability to hit home runs. Innocent until proven guilty. This is the kind of witch hunt I've been railing about Rick. Just becausevyou weren't aware of the existence of steroids prior to the 90s, they have in fact been around and in use since post WWII.
How do you know that drugs given to pilots in the Korean War didnt aid Ted Williams performance? How about the widespread delicacy's in NY in the 20s featuring livestock testicles. Those were jam packed with testosterone, an anabolic steroid. It goes on and on.
Unless someone has been proven and/or admitted to have violated the rules of baseball regarding foreign substances, we don't use the term "cheater", let's reserve that distinction for thosectgat deserve it. And those substances needed to be banned or criminally illegal to the time they were being used. Because that shows intent to gain an unfair advantage.
Now if you want to suspect guys like Griffey, go right ahead. Happy to consider your argument if it is based on more than the number of HRs hit. I think we've seen enough statistical analysis that dispelled that false assumption to be anecdotal.
