tbobI almost upchucked when I heard him on ESPN's Dan Patrick show giving a caller hell when he tried to point out that Aaron and Ruth didn't use steroids and Dibble went off on a tirade about how steroids have been around for a long, long time (1920's???) and how players in the 50's, 60's and 70's used drugs to increase their performance. Unless you count the nitrates (nitrites?) in hot dogs I am pretty sure the Bambino was drug free (yeah, yeah I know, booze is a drug, but you get the point, alcohol was not consumed to increase the Babe's productivity on the field).
What I really wish is that Hammerin' Hank was listening to the show when Dibble was droning on about drugs in the 50's and 60's and how "we can't say for sure they weren't taken by the home run hitters because we weren't actually present", and he took his Louisville Slugger to the thick noggin of Dibble.
What a moron. He summed up the Giambi controversy by saying how bad it was that he did it and how he remembers what happener to Lyle Alzado but then turned around and said that if steroids would have made him great for 2 years he would have given up 2 years of his life. Bozo!
