Pretty good read for those interested.

this really is a good (and quite long) article. Really, the best act of journalism espn has done ever. by a huge degree.

The one interesting non-steroid detail was "Bill Jenkinson had determined that the peak age for long-distance home run hitting was 25 or 26, at which point sluggers begin a slow, inevitable descent toward the pack. The most notable exceptions, Jenkinson found, were the taller sluggers -- the Willie Stargells and Frank Howards -- who peaked at 28."

Interesting that ESPN, who wouldn't even admit there might be a steroid problem, now has this huge article.

I commend them for admitting they were wrong. I just got the magazine in the mail today and plan on reading it tonight if I have time. A lot to read though.
