The best affiche boy for “playing hurt” in baseball has to be Mickey Mantle, the New York Yankees’ allegorical centermost fielder.
A about-face hitter that hit with beauteous ability from both abandon of the plate, Mantle suffered for years with bad legs.
Looking aback at his all-embracing performance, it’s annihilation beneath than amazing that he soldiered through so abounding campaigns, abnormally against the end of his career.
I begin myself apprehensive what his lifetime statistics would accept been if he had the account of steroids and avant-garde medicine.

Would he accept baffled Babe Ruth’s all-embracing mark of 714 home runs?
And during that astounding summer if he and Roger Maris were close and close in the home run derby, what would their numbers accept looked like had they both been juiced?
Speaking of juice, if you can accept the presentation of Mantle in the movie, “61″ that actual Maris’ almanac ambience season, the abundant Mantle was accomplishing a lot, Summer Video Monitor, of self-medicating with alcohol.
What a downer, figuratively and literally.

With the steroid affair devised by today’s trainers and gym rats, Mantle apparently would accept acquainted alone accessory ache and he would accept had monster strength. He ability accept anesthetized on using the bottle, altogether.
What do you anticipate the added allotment of capability is for a ability hitter who has steroids coursing through his bloodstream?
Is he traveling to hit 10 added homers a season, or 20, or 30?
I’ve just been talking about Mantle and Maris.
Henry Aaron DID exhausted Ruth’s almanac for lifetime homers.

Would he accept accomplished 1,000 or more?
