Steve Garvey was my favorite player growing up. I have his
base card in Topps for every year he played.

The infamous steriod abusers! While Mark McGwire, Barry Bonds, and Roger Clemens aren't the only ones
to abuse steriods, they sure became the poster children! Jason Giambi and Andy Pettite admitted to using. Sammy
Sosa seems likely. Most laughably was Rafael Palmeiro waving his finger at congress that he never used steriods and
then tested positive a few month later claiming he thought it was a B-12 shot. Right Raffy. Probably 80% of the
players in the era where on it. The owners and commissioner all looked away while these guys brought baseball back from
the strike year with big home runs. This tainted generation of ball players ruined it for the few that did not use it
(like maybe Orel Hershiser and Pedro Martinez).
