Steroids are pervasive in baseball.In baseball, if you don't measure up, you go from making high six figures or low seven figures back to the minor leagues where you are basically just a working stiff. So the pressure to keep up and keep out of the farm teams is enormous. I remember Willie Mays' description of farm team action. Back in his day, major league players didn't make even close to what they make today. In football, the minimum union salary is about $275,000 if I recall correctly. You get paid that whether or not you play, as long as you are eligible to play and you suit up for a game. But the stars, a relatively small number of players, make seven figures per year. So they abuse steroids. There's no stigma. Hell, if, years later, you get "outed" for injecting, you figure, "What the f--k. They might put the dealer in jail but nobody's taking my house and limousines and investments." Ends justify means in their minds. |
