The fact is that you have no idea whether or not Hank Aaron used amphetamines.

No, the fact is that he admitted to using them...like everybody else he played with.

You don't have a failed drug test to point to. You don't have an admission by Aaron.

Actually, I do. Read his book.

Hell, you don't even have an accusation by any of his peers. You've got nothing other than your own wild speculation. It's a red herring that you've thrown into the discussion in an attempt to excuse the behavior of guys like McGwire, Bonds, and Sosa.

I haven't excused those players' behavior at all. I'm merely trying to understand why they are being treated differently than the "cheaters" that came before them.

When you can provide ANY evidence AT ALL to show that (1) Aaron used greenies, and (2) the greenies actually helped, then you'll have a valid argument. Until then, your argument is bogus.

#1. Aaron did use greenies.
#2. It's impossible to prove how much greenies helped him, just as it is impossible to prove how much steroids helped Mark McGwire. That's really an irrelevant question, anyway, though. Is one form of "cheating" somehow better because it doesn't help as much as another?

He cheated, he ruined my sacred, nuanced game that you heathens don't understand! Kick the bastard out! /Royal F
