Everybody says he would have been in with his play before steroids.
My problem is we don't, and can't know for sure when juicing started.
I am not convinced that everything "pre-roid" was actually "pre".
What we do know for sure is that he cheated. I will not presume that everything prior was clean.
McGwire set the rookie record for homeruns when he was a tall, skinny kid out of college.
That doesn't excuse the cheating later.
