Yes.
Any of the guys who QUIT taking steroids.
Kinda like Samson, cut off his hair, lost his power.
Those 'roids have just as much mental effect as physical.
Ruben Sierra, Canseco, Sluggo for the Yanks, Juan Gonzalez, most every team has a least one guy who was demolished after giving up the juice.
Hell, Julio Franco STILL looks like he is doing something.
Sosa started going bad while in Chicago, and yeah, he would swing at pitches that weren't even in the same zip code.
Raphael Palmiero comes to mind, as well. And, I can't remember that MONSTER for the Yanks, haven't heard from him in a while, also, who was that killer-hitter on the A's ? Plus, that 3rd base guy from the Astro's, Ken Camineti? Killed himself, right?
Steroids = all in the name of being able to hit it out of the park (can't do it without them).
Sosa. Can't see him getting any better, his best days are long gone (IMO).
US
brad lidge and matt morris are current guys who have bombed out.
obviously sosa is atop the list because he was a mega star.
but matt morris was cy young caliber for the cardinals a few years ago.
now he gets hit hard consistently and looks nothing like his former 'ace' self.
lidge was as dominant as i can ever remember a closer being in the postseason a few years ago. now i dont think he will ever be an effective closer again.
