Yep, this was in my mind as well as I read the article.

Amphetimines were huge in all pro sports in the 60's & 70's. And that top 5 game 7 moment in NBA history - Willis Reed hobbling out on the court against the Lakers - was brought to you by massive cortisone injections.

BTW, don't forget that while it might not have been banned by baseball steroid use without a prescription is illegal by law.
