Most Prominent MLB Players Who Shaped the Infamous Steroid Era

The 'Steroid Era' gave us some surreal moments that seemed far from reality. It was all iconic until Jose Canseco spilled the beans on a dark truth, quickly shattering our bubble. Here’s a list of 5 prominent players that were a part of the ‘Steroid Era’.

#5 Jose Canseco

The man that brought names to light also used steroids for the majority of his career. Jose Canseco is that one name that will have polarizing opinions associated with it.

#4 Sammy Sosa

Despite being one of baseball’s beloved players, Sammy’s career did take a nosedive after his stint with steroids. Not only was he accused of using but was caught ‘corking’ his bat too.

#3 Alex Rodriguez

On the path to becoming one of the greatest baseball players, it all ended for A-Rod after he was found guilty of using PEDs in Jose’s book. Alex finally came clean in 2009 after denying accusations and served a suspension in 2014.

#2 Mark McGwire

McGwire has admitted to using PEDs on and off from 1989 till his retirement in 2001. Had he stayed clean, he might have had his name in the Hall of Fame today.

#1 Barry Bonds

Although Bonds never admitted to using steroids, he never hit over 50 HRs after his record of 73 HRs in a single season in 2001.
