Did you provide any proof and/or evidence that this is true?

Do you disagree with my assertion that steroids help home run hitters hit more home runs?

If you say you actually disagree, then I will (a) marvel at how any person could hold such a ridiculous opinion and then (b) provide the overwhelming evidence. Otherwise, you're just trying to bait me into another semantical/burden of proof argument, and I decline to engage.

I think it's beyond obvious to any sensible person that steroids help home run hitters hit more home runs.

Actually it's not. Just because you think it seems intuitive that it would be doesn't make it so. There are many counterintuitive things that happen to be facts. What evidence is there suggesting that "home run hitters," whatever the hell that means, benefit more from steroids? Why wouldn't line drive hitters? Or fringe fourth outfielders? Or catchers recovering from the daily grind?

Or people who give up too many gopherballs.
