well so is having a nail file in your glove, or grease or skin lub stuck under the bill of cap, behind the ear, on the back of the neck in the back of the pants band, emmory board on isside of palm guard, sand paper in glove band or back of belt.
corked bat, bat shaving down then filled with foam. or filled with buck shot after hole drilled into top and then wood puddy over then sanded out, all kinds of cheating goes on and has and always will, just because you take the point does not mean you can still hit the ball out of the park, it only adds about 15 feet which is big but a corked bat or buck shot will add about 25 feet, so it has always gone on like i said and many guys in the hall admit the cheated pitcher will really say it more then hitter, the drug itself doesnot make it any different then cheating in other ways, people blow this up like it is new or something there has always been cheating in every sport and always will be so no you can't say the take away any records you would have to show it was done their who time, hell hank had loaded bats when he played he has talked about it so his should come down then also.
forget saying the juice made the record if one is ever reached because hitters and pitchers have always cheated and like i said a loaded bat goes futher then a loaded body add both together you have a hell of a extra boost, more hr's have been hit due to the fact the last 10 years because or tighter wound balls , better made bats and there is a big difference just get a ml bat from a guy who has about 4 doz made a year and test that bat against a guys in the minors who also has his bats made and she on testing machine which ball goes further and faster off the bat it is the ml bat, and the biggest change is the size of the parks have came down about 15 25 feet with the length of the fence. before in 70's this was the standard size park 335 down the lines 385 power allys 410-420 to center, before that and i played in 2 i can remember one in fl 1 in ga old time pro parks from the 30's they were 500 all the way around, now most yards are different but avg aboyt 325 down the line 370 pa and 400 to center that is on avg like i said each park is different in lay out, before in the 70's all the same and before that all the same.
you can't say they tainted the game shit it has always been tainted in some way just was not made a big deal of, but like i said a loaded bat made right which compines who make bats will load them for players go further then taking the point. the point will help you gain strength and lets muscles rehab faster from tear down but you have to prove a player did it all his life and not going to happen, pain pills and shots and dmso are used like candy but no one says anything about that. it is stupid just play the game, for every test and cheat , there will be away around it and another type of cheating able to be came up with.
