Does the name Sosa ring a bell?

 

A lot more than just Sosa, as you know perfectly well.

That's a nice compilation. Makes dirty some names I didn't know of.

From NJ's link:

 

Todd Hundley: Catcher from 1990-2003 with the Mets, Dodgers and Cubs. Radomski said he sold steroids to Hundley three or four times, beginning in 1996, according to the Mitchell Report. He hit 15 home runs in 1995 and 41 home runs in 1996.

 

I remember when Hundley first came up in September, he was twenty years old.  One at-bat he really got around on one and drove it, but it came down on the warning track.  The announcers, Ralph Kiner and I guess Bob Murphy, were saying, "He's only twenty, in a year or two when he gets hold of one like that it will be over the fence".

 

Well, he did hit more home runs when he got older, you can even say he had okay power for a catcher.  But he only became a monster home run hitter when he went on the steroids.

 

A real example of the difference they make-they really push you up several notches in performance.
