The Steroid 'Stars"
Below is a list of cards needed to fulfill my want lists of the MLB players that chose the route of metabolic steroids and other performance enhancing drugs to gain the advantage in their careers. While most of these players would have been Hall of Fame quality players without the aid of these drugs and supplements, their decision to 'use' cost them their chance to gain entrance to the Hall of Fame but most importantly resulted in the loss of respect for their achievements. While one could argue back and forth on this topic forever, the bottom line is that it did give them an unfair advantage and in some cases prolonged their careers. If that weren't the case - they would have had no reason to take them.
