Carlton Fisk spoke out about Mark McGwire’s comments that steroids did not help him hit home runs. Fisk points out that they are called ‘performance enhancers’ for a reason. Although Fisk claims that this isn’t new news to him, the forum is now available for him to speak out. Carlton claims that Catching ‘took a toll on me’ and that steroids would have made his daily life easier but he chose not to because of the integrity of the game.
Fisk also blasts former Red Sox pitcher Roger Clemens for his use of steroids saying “The reason he got let go from the Red Sox was because he was starting to breakdown. Then all of a sudden he goes to Toronto and gets two consecutive Cy Young Awards.”
This is where the Hall of Fame will have to do some serious thinking. Fisk’s comments point out that while PEDs may not help you hit per se, it does. PEDs get you back on the field and help you physically as well as mentally.
