As for were greenies known at the time? Who knows. If they were handed out like candy in clubhouses how could it not be known? I believe during the Pittsburgh drug trials in 1985 Stargell was tied to greenies. He was elected in 1988.

How many players are already in the HOF that took steroids that we dont know about? Grandfather rules apply. Someone pointed out on here awhile back that Dawson was most likely on steroids in 1987. America and baseball also had a different stance on things back then. Who knows what people will think 20 yrs from now or 2 years from now when we have 5+ 500 HR hitters that have not gone in.
Also since when do Greenies + hitting the gym help a 10 HR SS hit 40? that same SS doing HGH or roids does matter even without hitting the gym.
