They weren't invented until the 1930s and weren't used by athletes until the 1950s so it wasn't possible for him to use them at the time he was playing. -- (edited) - Krusty Aug 26, 04:53 4

- It is because we're talking about steroids which wasn't a thing used by athletes until the 1950s. - Krusty Aug 26, 04:52 3
  - Ruth was rumored to have tried to inject himself with an extract from sheep testicles. - Inigo Aug 26, 07:49 1
    - Steroids were on the banned list since 1991 in MLB. -- nm - Krusty Aug 26, 07:59
  - Greenies are not the same as steroids. While it gave them energy that they wouldn't normally have it didn't make them bigger and stronger. -- nm - Krusty Aug 26, 04:55
