Ruth was rumored to have tried to inject himself with an extract from sheep testicles.

Sure, steroids weren't technically around, but the push to enhance your body no matter what the cost was there. Weight lifting didn't really take off until the 1970s though.
I find it silly that we're keeping guys out of the hall of fame for being "cheaters" when it wasn't even against the rules to do what they did.
I'm sure if Ruth were alive in the 1990s and 2000s, he'd be one of the admonished players.
