You're saying that Ripken was kept healthy by steroids? That's a joke, why wouldn't he have been getting bigger? I believe steroids can make you bigger and stronger, but I think they'd destroy his body over a long period of time, which then he wouldn't have been able to play consecutive games.

Everyone's body reacts differently to roids. It also depends on what kind of exercise program you are on. Wether you want to bulk up or not. But most do gain weight. Roids also promote growth and healing. I am sorry though. NO MAN can go that long without missing a game and without some sort of medical or suplemental aid. And like I said earlier. Roids weren't even tested for in that erra so to most MLB players they were fine and a lot of the banned supplements now were being used then. Big Mac used Andro and talked about it. It wasn't banned at the time and you could by it at GNC. But, it is banned now. And I Loved Ripken the player. I just don't like Riken the League. lol
