2. 0:02we were talking about steroids in the
3. 0:05earlier portion of this past decade was
4. 0:07when major league baseball first came
5. 0:09out with their rule the two sides of
6. 0:11that argument are while major league
7. 0:14baseball first banned it in the early
8. 0:172000 in reality steroids were illegal
9. 0:21without a prescription beginning in the
10. 0:23early 1990s so are you from whatever or
11. 0:27they go to our country without a
12. 0:29prescription beginning in the early
13. 0:311990s so theoretically baseball doesn't
14. 0:33have to ban steroids when they're
15. 0:36already well America without let me be
16. 0:39stupid and ask this question the George
17. 0:41Foster hit 50 home runs in 1977 then all
18. 0:45of a sudden in 1997 you have two guys
19. 0:49the beat Roger Maris is 61 home runs and
20. 0:53one guy hits 70 another guy at 66 after
21. 0:5820 years then all of a sudden three or
22. 1:01four years later a guy hits 73 now at
23. 1:05what time does the light go off in your
24. 1:07head
25. 1:08the thing something unusual is going on
26. 1:10when it takes 20 years for a guy and it
27. 1:14takes 20 years for a guy to never lead
28. 1:17the league in home runs and hit over 63
29. 1:19times and never lead the league in home
30. 1:21runs when does the red light come on to
31. 1:24do the ball parks are too small or the
32. 1:26balls reduced or the athlete that used
33. 1:29to weigh 210 weighs 240 now in one year
34. 1:33is there any kind of light that goes on
35. 1:35named by size when did you first realize
36. 1:39something was going on when my son told
37. 1:41me he played against Mark McGwire in st.
38. 1:43Louis and he said Mark McGwire when I'm
39. 1:45batting tries to come within two rows
40. 1:47going out of Busch Stadium now that's
41. 1:50just not normal it's not normal for a
42. 1:53guy to be able to hit a ball that far
43. 1:55you know when you see these guys and I
44. 1:57know these guys work out but we see
45. 1:58these guys go from here to there and
46. 2:01then all these players start breaking
47. 2:03down if you're on top of your game you
48. 2:05can just see what's happening but I
49. 2:08could see what was happening I had no
50. 2:11say I have no say
51. 2:12in the game of baseball what do you
52. 2:16think the primary reason for the
53. 2:18offensive explosion was or is
54. 2:22you may why they why all the home runs
55. 2:25being hit so far sure because I'm
56. 2:27actually good guys regular illegal
57. 2:29things guys were doing illegal things
58. 2:31Barry Bonds when his name became right
59. 2:34winger to performance-enhancing drugs
60. 2:36how did that impact how you viewed his
61. 2:38achievements that didn't it didn't
62. 2:40affect me at all because Barry's a
63. 2:42friend of mine and I think till this day
64. 2:45Barry said he didn't use it no it didn't
65. 2:50knowingly okay well we might we might
66. 2:53have say fairies Mayan I mean that you
67. 2:55know it and I might have a different I
68. 2:57might have a different philosophy on
69. 2:59that if he got 41 42 57 you know because
70. 3:05I know how hard I work to get my record
71. 3:07it's a shame you can't ask Hank Aaron
72. 3:09that write that question wondering what
73. 3:12Hank would say I don't know I don't know
74. 3:14what any would say Barry did something
75. 3:16that's very unusual to do and I can
76. 3:19contested act as I went through it it's
77. 3:22very hard to dominate any major league
78. 3:24sport once you've become over 40 ok but
79. 3:28he did and the seven-time most I have a
80. 3:32player Barry Bonds a great ballplayer
