Dumb Dora/Donald doesn’t pretend to be enough of an ____________ .

If an already-signed player who hits an average of 20 home runs and 80 RBIs per year makes, say, $5 million per season, then surely a second player who is averaging 24 home runs and 86 RBIs deserves $6 million per year. It made perfect sense in those honest days, before the introduction of steroids and performance-enhancing drugs to the game.

But teams made deals based on the supposed integrity of the accumulated statistics ...

30 years ago I wore a 7 3/8 hat, now I wear a 7 1/2 or 7 5/8 (depending on what fits as hats, like clothes are not all the same size despite what the tag says). I PROMISE my incresed hat size (and waist line) is the result of simply eating too much.........not PEDS. Just sayin

After all, as noted here last season when he pitched for the Yankees, whose head grows (and grows and grows) well after entering adulthood? Not yours, not mine.

Is this remotely true? I keep looking at rookie Hank Aaron and 744 Hank Aaron, and his head got much bigger. I didn't even know that roids were being used in baseball at that time.

If Colon was taking steroids, it would not have resulted in any growth to his head. HGH is what causes head growth.

Head-growing hormone. Does what it says on the tin.

Hanks head grew some. Colon's grew to about three times original size.

Colon looks like Peter Potamus.
