Kudos to my main man Depressed Fan for finding and posting
this image. DF points out that Rose thinks steroids and amphetamines aren't the same. Other former ballplayers who took speed, such as Jim Bouton of
Ball Four fame, also perform the same mental gymnastics when decrying today's crisis. (Listen to Bouton try to sort out the difference between "performance enablers" and "performance enhancers" on
this BP podcast.) Like I've said, no asterisks for the steroid era unless there's a way to find the speed users of past decades and mark all their records, too.
Hear, hear, speed use has warped seasonal and career records for years now, since WW II when its use among soldiers were brought into society.
