Steroids Steroids in baseball Steroids era Baseball Hall of Fame

Steroids have been linked to baseball more than any other sport in the past decade or two. The steroid era has seen more superstars of the game using steroids than ever before. Steroids have been mentioned with some of the greats, including Barry Bonds, Alex Rodriguez, Mark McGuire, and Sammy Sosa. Consequentially, the link between these stars and steroids has somewhat tainted their reputation and greatness to the game of baseball. This past year, there was not a single person elected into the Hall of Fame. This was the first time since 1996 that there was not a single person to be elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Steroids have shown increases in different statistical numbers. Perhaps even ruining the reputation of ‘America’s Past Time’. Steroids have become too common in baseball and are tainting the image of the game itself. This paper will examine how steroids have ruined the great game of baseball.
