No, steroids don't help people hit more home runs.
Strength has nothing to do with home run hitting!
This is why Pesky hit more home runs than Mantle, why Aparicio hit more than Stargell, etc. These little skinny guys were cranking out 50 HR seasons while the big burly guys with muscles were struggling to hit 10, right??? Because strength is meaningless when it comes to home run hitting!
And of course, steroids don't help, nope. Not at all.
Kinda funny how in the late '90s and early '00s a bunch of guys who were caught on PEDS hit 50,60,70 HRs, but now that testing has been tightened up, hardly anyone can come close to those numbers anymore....
