Also, since not everybody can be a professional athlete, the elimination of steroid use, in my opinion, would make the fans appreciate the game more and make them feel more relatable....

Steriods and Baseball - Athletes and Steroids Jose Canseco claims steroids can make an average athlete a super athlete, and make a super athlete incredible.
