Drugs didn't make arms grow longer. An athletes body was still blood and bone.
It seems to me there were dynamics at play in the economy of Baseball that could have contributed to such exploitation of player well being. Easily.
...''I know of 15 major league clubs that have serious economic problems, or would have if they didn't have ownership pumping in the dollars.''...
Here again, the entire dynamics of Baseball, the fact it has survived even when in fact many times it was questionably able to sustain it's own clubs and cost, had to play a role in what was to follow. There are too many questions regarding external issues of 'the game' and it's management to hold players responsible.
