The Best 'Roided Out Seasons In Baseball History 

I agree, but I don’t blame Selig for turning a blind eye after the ‘94 season. The steroid era saved baseball!

Also Gaylord Perry is in the hall and he cheated

@@ruffkuntry2574I don’t blame him for turning a blind eye to it but I do blame him for eventually making them seem like the villains to save his own ass

Two wrongs don't make a right. Shoutout to the players who didn't juice and could still hang in the League, shit some even excelled beating out juicers. Gotta feel pretty shitty to have that regret of cheating in your love of life, and then find out some ppl did it the right way, and better than you.

You’re right. Selig didn’t deserve inclusion for multiple reasons but he knowingly oversaw steroid usage on a massive scale. He not only faced 0 consequences, but was constantly rewarded for it

before ive watched the video im calling Sosa

Remember those commercials that said "chicks dig the long balls". Definitely saved baseball.

100%. People don’t remember how much ‘94 hurt MLB

Must see tv

@@Nick_Valentine2702Exactly! That ‘94 season almost killed baseball…which is why baseball executives turned a blind eye on the steroid issue until they couldn’t any longer.

Agreed. Otherwise we’d not even be watching

To name a few, but also Maddux, Griffey Jr, Guerrero Sr, Big unit, etc...

IF CON SECO IS TO BE BELIEVED the greatest conjecture since hamlet's "to be or not to be"

Ken Griffey Jr didn’t

He'd have been bunting Home runs over that little league right field.

This 100

Professional players being taking supplements since they had hands. Thing with binds tho there is no proof. Only lies and rumors.

Its like a baby walking

Nails on a chalkboard

TBH 6'2 220 soinds normal for a MLB pitcher. Doesnt sound huge at all. Definatly not " juiced to the max"

@@elliotthunter6226he’s talking about himself not Eric Gagne

@@Mr.JayDice gotcha. Makes more sense

In 2001 Bret Boone played 2nd base for the Seattle Mariners.

1996 brady anderson is probably even worse

Luis Gonzales was definitely on steroids in 2001 and yes I'm only saying this because I'm a Yankees fan

As a Cubs fan I can attest that he was not in the same galaxy as late as 98'. The league was 100% complicit with all these shenanigans.

Brady Anderson is definitely up there, Bret at least had some other positive seasons around that year. Plus the 01 Mariners team was insane

He played 7 season for Pittsburgh. So no actually he wasn’t lmao

@@JustLikeYou. I dunno, while his numbers aren't eyepopping, he did in fact win two mvps, have a runner up, and post a season over 200 OPS+. It's hard to say he wouldn't necessarily be a hall of famer if his career abruptly ended after that point. It would be a 'what could have been' type of deal as his numbers were improving.

@@hispanicservices2589 I brought up number of years played because you need 10 in order to be eligible in the MLB

@@JustLikeYou. That is a fair point. I did some research and while that is in fact 'the rule', they have let in (at least) 1 player who didn't meet that requirement. For that reason I'd say it seems more like guidance and a suggestion than a rule. Addie Joss played for 9 seasons, got sick, died, and was put into the hall of fame. If someone like Albert Pujols only played for like 7 seasons and died or was forced to retire for whatever reason, he'd probably get elected into the hall as well, so to say Bonds wouldn't get in just based off that years rule is a bit silly. I do think context has a lot to do with it. If you retire simply cause you're bored, there probably wouldn't be an exception. If you retired because of a health reason or death, then I'm pretty sure they'd strongly consider an exception if you were good enough to warrant it.

It'd be a little weird if Brady only juiced for a single season, no? I don't think we can chalk up his 96 season to drugs.

as much as I'd love to watch that, Foolish Baseball basically has done that exact video. Not that two creators can't each make interesting videos on the topic, but I could see why that might be discouraging

@@astralsn0w756 I'll have to check his video out! You're totally right on that as well.

I hear roids gave him those "Luke Perry" sideburns. I remember those days with Cal.

That last bit is untrue. Illegal drug use was and remains very much illegal in MLB.

i honestly dont think brady anderson used roids, i mean, think about it, who goes out, uses roids, has the best season of their life by far, then says, yup, think ive seen enough of that, im done

The O's lineup was stacked that year. I'm in the camp where it's a maybe. Could go either way.

Nichols is right it was banned by mlb in 1991

If by gotten without help you mean it Roger Marris had an 8 extra regular season games to hit 1 more home run and he actually played/appeared in 10 more than Ruth (161 to 151), then yes, the record was 'gotten without help' lol. (To be fair the Plate appearances were similar Ruth 691, Maris 698). I don't know, there's always arguments for and against everything. Clearly Ruth was ahead of his time with his approach at the plate, but it's also pretty obvious he was facing inferior competition compared to todays MLB. It's really difficult to compare his and other dinosaurs numbers to the modern game. The only person who has compared to or passed those numbers is Bonds for that 4 year stretch of 01-04, otherwise basically no one in the modern era sniffs 1.200 OPS not named Ted Williams or the 1 outlier seasons by Frank Thomas and Mark McGwire. I don't count Juan Sotos ~47 game season in 2020. Plus baseball has mostly be founded on cheating and trying to get ahead, stealing signs (cough 2017 astros), spitballs, scuffing baseballs, pinetar on gloves for more tack on the ball, amphetamines, etc. So yeah idk. Steroids were just another level to it, but to act like most players were clean is a bit of a joke. I wish they'd just bring steroids back, the game is so stat driven now its boring af.

Houston Asterisks banging their trash can and hiding their buzzer

How about babe ruth showing up drunk and high on cocaine, while never playing against a minority. He was a famously obese womanizer. A players who's weight became such an issue, babe would either hit a homerun or he was out. A mediocre pitcher. An all around terrible guy. Baseballs favorite person.

@@ruffkuntry2574cry….rent free

​@johnthomas1422 So where's the cheating in any of that? And you're straight up wrong about Ruth being a homerun or out hitter- .349 career average with 642 doubles + triples proves otherwise. He was also an outstanding pitcher with the Red Sox, but the Yankees stopped using him on the mound.

@@johnthomas1422 It sounds like he was putting himself at a disadvantage and was still playing better than everybody else. Anime mode lol

I agree. There's no evidence he took anything. He just had a fluky year and hit alot of flyballs and was in his prime. There's too much speculation in this video....for instance The accusations against Clemens by his trainer and the FBI are very specific, and do not include 2005 or any of his years in Houston. He mentions 1998, 2000 and 2001...then implies he stopped bc the league was beginning to sniff around and test starting in 2003.

I wanna say it was Norm MacDonald on his live show that was saying something like that years ago and all I could think was "yup"

Mutant league baseball lets gooo!

It helps when you get fear walked every other time 😁😁 but I'm with you my mans eye was insane

Brady Anderson

Dude dont be salty tha u dont know that bonds had JMFR +21.0 If u cant understand that then ur venus must be in retrograde...stupid

Second this

Yep, they need to be in the hall but in a designated area for known steroid users.

I like that compromise
