I'm sure that everyone is shocked and surprised at the fact that two reporters for the San Francisco Chronicle have in their new book asserted that Barry Bonds, despite his many denials, indeed followed a regimen of performance-enhancing drugs, mostly steroids, for several years.
In 1998, two SP softball players from this area changed over one winter from rather normal builds to extreme muscular bulk. These guys were each in their late 30s. One guy's swing didn't change that much, and he remained a singles hitter. The other guy became almost an automatic home run. He would chop at pitches over his head and line them way over the 300-foot fence.
The singles hitter died after playing one bulked-up season. The crusher played 6 more seasons and is now also dead.
I do not know that their bulking up and their deaths were related, but . . .
