Tom House has a lot of interesting coincidences following him around. 2 of his teammates having massive HR surges his first full year in the big leagues. Aaron setting a career best AB/HR that year. Nolan Ryan suddenly being able to pitch again after he became his pitching coach in Texas.

Steroids were in every other major professional sport by the early 60's, it takes serious naivety to think baseball wasn't among them.
