I didn't mean it in the literal sense. Of course bat modifications won't do jack in terms of distance compared to steroids. I'm saying that if one is to be called cheating, the other must be called cheating as well. Bat speed IS crucial, and that's a fact.
Well, if you put it that way, you make it sound like no one but Giambi is juiced.

And corking is illegal, however, it is not against A FEDERAL LAW, whereas, a vast majority of the steroids are banned in this country. So the players are literally breaking the law when they use steroids.
So don't play as if corking a bat is just as bad as illegally using drugs to enhance your game.
And no Giambi isn't the only one juiced, BUT his juicing affected the outcome of a game or 2 and therefore enhanced the Yanks chances to advance in the playoffs.
I'm just saying MLB needs to test more than just once a year and "random players" ....
MLB is teaching kids that they can take illegal steroids, hit a ball a mile and make millions. It's BS and I hope Congress demands weekly or monthly testing of all players and anyone caght using faces prison time and/or lifetime bans from the game on the 1st positive test. Time to clean up the sport.
There was a scandal in 1919 that plagued the integrity of the game.... this will make that one seem lame when all this is over and done... and this time there is noone named Ruth to save the game as there was in the 20's.
