ESPN.com - MLB - Computer study claims 1998 baseballs were juiced (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2719191)

Is it steroids? Juiced baseballs? A combination of both? None of the above?

How was it that a record that stood for so long has now been blown out of the water 3 times in 4 years?

1961 - Roger Maris hits 61 homers to break Babe Ruth's record of 60 in 1927
1998 - Mark McGwire hits 70 homers and Sammy Sosa hits 66
2001 - Barry Bonds hits 73 homers

Your thoughts?

I think they should cut open McGuire's and Bonds' balls and take a closer look.

I thought O.J. played football!! LOL

Forget baseball.

You guys should try and get hold of some cricket matches.

More hijacking, cricket is the bomb.

Juiced balls is better than

Iced Balls

or

Blued Balls

Come to my pad. I got cricket matches in my yard every night and loud ones at that.
