In response to "the part of the roid debate that always amuses me...." by groiny

If you add in all illegal substances, I totally disagree on McGwire being a HOFer.

I don't even believe with his current numbers that he should be a HOFer.

Without them, I think his back would degenerated to the point where he would have retired 5 years earlier.

Responses:

maybe he would've, maybe he would have stayed more limber and not had the back issues. It's still supposition. - zombie musubi Aug 4, 09:41 6
- He was pretty open, at the time, that Andro was a big reason why he could continue playing through his back issues. -- nm - Inigo Aug 4, 09:44 4
  - right, the Andro that was not a banned substance at the time? - groiny Aug 4, 09:45 3
    - That's the one he could admit to. As we know now, he was talking a multitude of illegal drugs. -- nm - Inigo Aug 4, 09:48 2
      - certainly, that is not debateable. - groiny Aug 4, 09:50 1
        
        I'm not trying to harsh on McGwire. - Inigo Aug 4, 09:58
- roids sure can contribute to longevity going in both directions. - groiny Aug 4, 09:44
