From 1999 he his Home Runs almost twice as fast (per at bat)

From 1986-1998 he hit 401 Home Runs with 6611 At Bats
From 1999-2007 he hit 345 Home Runs with 3153 At Bats

After 12 years in the league, when most are on the back nine of the career, he starts hitting better----stronger? Lets keep in mind how many times hes been walked as well through both of those era's, and the time when he was walked the most, he still hit more HR? Interesting how that worked out for him......
 
A. There wasn't a rule, nor was there testing at the time.
B. Mike Webster did not break one of if not "the" greatest records of all times.

a. it was not a rule in MLB until 2004, and there was no testing at the time there either.
b. Mike Webster is in the Hall of Fame and that is the argument they want to use to keep Mark McGwire out. even though he has never tested positive for steroids.
 
well if he was on one of your teams you would be going rah rah rah. Don't be so negative let it go. At one time he was on your team and it is your loss.
 
If it was not such an important record, or held by a man who overcame so much to break it, we really wouldn't care about this. Sadly, since baseball has chosen to ignore it, there will not be any 'asteriks' in the record books. I am glad Hank chose to make a speach when he busted it, nice on his part to just help everything and one move on. IMO, though, in 6 years Arod will be topping Barry's number so all is not lost ;)
 
To be fair, he started juicing in 1998, not 1996, according to "Game of Shadows."

I've said my piece on this subject many a time.
