Inside baseball…did past ‘Great Ones’ use performance enhancing techniques?

Is it okay to question the ‘keep-it-pure’ philosophy that assumes greats like Willie Mays and Babe Ruth never used performance enhancing techniques themselves?

Since the Stone Age, Life’s combatants sought an ‘edge’ on their opponents.

Those who bemoan today’s use of steroids in professional sports can’t be so naive as to think such acts just started…or that yesterday’s heroes are above suspicion?

Human nature (to always seek adversarial ‘advantage’) suggests otherwise.

Odds are, yesterday’s heroes were just lucky enough not to be caught…

…or used products-of-the-day not thought of at the time as questionable or illegal.

Just sayin’.
