Meanwhile, home run frequency and pitch velocity is much higher now than during the "steroid era". You're naive if you think steroids aren't still a major part of the game.
Also, nowhere did I indicate that I think steroid usage isn't still rampant. In fact, quite to the contrary, I know it is. I just generally don't care about MLB now like I used to.
And lastly, the feelings I have toward people who cheat at a game is nothing in comparison to how I feel toward people who victimize others.
Do you have trivia memorized about many sports? Could you score similarly on a similar quiz about football, soccer, hockey, etc.?
I don't really understand how someone can memorize .. 30 MLB teams. 26 players each. @780 players each year. And then over a period of probably >30 years? (I assume 90's stuff ..maybe 80's too.. is "current event" material. And it goes at least as far back as 1914-35 when Ruth played)
Do you have the room to also shove countries/flags/capitals/periodic table/movies+tv+music/etc. into your memory?
Or maybe this is mostly a, "spam the 20 most well-known baseball players". Like Jordan, Bryant, Kareem, etc.
I guess with 6,000 takes since 2012, it's pretty niche.
