Mike Piazza seems like a steroid free slugger.

Jr. is definitely on the juice. Most of it is Sunkist but he does go for the occasional Snapple. He usually uses it to wash down his Krispy Kreme's that he shares with fellow Reds slugger Adam Dunn.
Come on... Jr never touched steriods. The man just failed to do the necessary work to keep his fragile frame in playing shape. He remained lazy as he aged and fell into the trap of his natural talent and ability that for years had held him up as one of the elite players in the game of baseball.
What did Nolan Ryan and Cal Ripken Jr have in common? An incredible work ethic that provided them with longevity in the young man's game of baseball that few will ever match. Junior could learn from their work ethic and if this year is any indication he just may have figured it out.
Junior is on pace to hit 36 homers and drive in 110 RBI's. Those aren't bad numbers for a man who had his hamstring torn off the bone last year. The major surgery he went through to have that tear repaired would have crippled most normal individuals. Junior has had to work extremely hard to get back to form and if you've seen him play this year at all he's been second only to Andruw Jones in terms of productivity as a center fielder.
Junior is back steriod free as he has been his entire career and baseball is better for it.
