wow, amazing transformation by some of these guys.

Just because they put on size over a period of several years doesn't necessarily mean they took steroids.

But, I'm sure most of them did.

How about Miguel Tejada, Brian and Marcus Giles, Arod, Juan Gone, Pudge, etc..........

yeah but we're talking about different kinds of "size". Shaq now compared to Shaq as a rookie is fatness, generally larger muscles, but not body builder. If Roger Clemens took his shirt off in that picture, he'd have no neck. His traps would connect like a body builder. He looks HUGE.

Clemens TRAPS.
Sammy Sosa' upper body makes his legs look like toothpicks.
McGwire's left forearm is about to bust through his uniform sleeve.
Barry Bonds shoulders and face are going to pop.
Segui's forearms, biceps, chest...not natural.

We're so used to seeing big people, whether its pro athletes, guys at the gym, friends from college. It's not normal.

Shit maybe I should get on some ROIDS.

:dancefool

Get a BRET BOONE before and after.

Rawpimple · Jun 24, 2006

Its funny how these guys are all tall, lanky, baseball players and all of a sudden they hit the gym and puberty in their 30s and they are just HUGE afterwards.

Thats some good shit and I need some.

you have no clue if clemens ever did or didn't....just like none of us on this board know if any of these guys ever did steroids...we can assume all we want but we'll never know for sure

whalewager · Jun 24, 2006

the thread was started with an assumption and I put my own assumption in.

Get off me.

Railbird · Jun 24, 2006

right Viking, just like were not sure if OJ killed Nicole.

whalewager · Jun 24, 2006

BTW viking...

Thats a very classy thing to do with the post above.

Hunger is always funny to me for some reason. Not.

StuntDouble1 · Jun 24, 2006

Can anyone get and post a pic of Lenny Dykstra or Dutch Daulton pre- days...they both look like they sucked on a tire hose and beefed up.:drink:

Sosa used to be white??

And i think it also depends on what age they were a rookie. Being an 18 yo rook is different than being 22. Look at NBA players like Kobe. Or even just yourself of friends. The majority of guys i know have filled out between highschool and college. From lifting, alcohol, etc.

No, I agree with that. Look at Shaq for crying out loud. But it's one thing thing to fill out, and put on some weight and look thicker...it's another when your forearms cant be contained by your sleeves, your traps are above your ears, and you look like a body builder. If these guys took their shirts off it would be sick
