[Remorcefull Raider]

No it wasnt a joke, and i stand by what i said. Thats my beliefs, im sorry that it upset you. Manny and David were brought into the leauge to hit homeruns not feild. Their homeruns usually are pretty good shot, well over the fence. All i was saying is that i honestly believe that without the steroids the homeruns that were 15 feet or more over the fence would have still been homeruns even if they wasnt on roids. Boone wasn't a homerun hitter, the reason you have such a big diffrence in his hr totals was simple. Take all the hits he had that were 5-10 feet from the wall and add 15 feet, the roids made him a hr hitter. They gave him the power that he needed to get that last 10-15 feet. I dont agree with steroids, and i believe, even though im dodgers fan, that if you caught using steroids you should have to set out at least a year, and spend a half a year in the minors until you prove that your off and can stay off the steroids. All im saying is, they dont improve hand-eye coordination, and if you aint got that you wouldnt be able to hit a ball, let alone hitting a homerun. And im not trying to say that Manny and David's homeruns would have dropped, because they would have, but the steroids dosnt make as big as a diffrence as everyone thinks it does.
