Look at Mark Macguire now. A few years ago he was just massive, and led all of baseball in home runs. Then it came out that he used roids. He quit using in the off season, dropped 30 pounds and barely hit any home runs. Now you don't hear of him any more. Hell I am not even sure he even still plays.
As far as Barry is concerned he just ruined that title. He should have retired from baseball when he tied the record. Yeah it is a milestone. But do you honestly believe that he earned it?
