Maybe he did, maybe he didnt, I certainly dont think he did. Its ashame its come down to this. And it wont end until Barry Bonds takes his head out of his ass and comes clean, even then itll prolly keep goin.

Mark McGwire hit that many home runs because hes good and it has nothing to do with steroids.
Derek Jeter hits with brute strength, but its to hit the ball between gaps, and not to hit home runs? Apparently the home runs he does hit, are accidental.
Nobody but a select few guys in MLB know how to bat, because they make millions due to their fielding abilities, teams could really care less about their batting abilities.
Its not possible for KGJ to have taken steroids, because he was considered one of the best athletes of the time, but his body diminished by age 30.
220 Home runs is a lot for a 15 year career...
And what else... Oh yeah, scrawny guys hit more home runs over guys with bigger builds... Cause I have met conflict before when I sold him an xbox, and he prob. weights 135lbs.

mcgwire was able to hit homeruns before he used steroids. he can hit end of story. yea they might of added to more but it happened, doesnt mean steroids made him good.
never said jeter hits with brute strength, i said he has brute strength. which you say he doesnt. jeter is a gap hitter and when he does hit homeruns he hits his majority to the opposite field and yes that requires strength.
there are plenty of big guys who played as long as jeter who have less homeruns then jeter. size doesnt mean ****. bat speed is everything, not the size of the guy.
let me put it this way to you, if guy one weighed 140 and had a bat speed of 100mph and guy two weighed 235 and had a bat speed of 89-90mph who could hit homeruns more?
