When Big Mac hit his 540'+ dingers, the steroids did not affect dinger or not. He always hit prodigious clouts of herculean proportions. But the hyper torquing was destroying his back so he doped to play NOT to dinger.

In fact when he hit 70, he hit 72. 2 of his rockets flew out so fast the umps did not see them carom off the stands and the enemy fans were no help. And no video review.

And this cheater Big Mac was so distraught at losing his ability to play during a meager season he tore up his contract and let the owners off the hook.

70 + 65 = 135 greatest two year seasons in a row total evah!

Give Maris an * too. He batted in front of Mantle and never received an intentional walk.

Hopefully Judge is squeaky clean, but the jury is still out.
