ONe of the most interesting comments Pete Rose had made about his playing years in the 70's, was that he said he himself didn't take steroids. Which means that other people were in that time frame. Yet no reporter ever follows up about steroid use in the 70's. I'd bet my house that Reggie did. A person could take steroids, never weight train but gain some bat speed by swinging a weighted bat. Some of the big time home run hitters in the 60's and 70's used 36 ounce bats. That's a heavy fukcing bat. Jim Rice used at bat that heavy.
