Was 1996 the year of the juice? Take a look at this and tell me what you think?
For most of the 80′s and 90′s there were no more than 10 to 15 30+ home run hitters in baseball.
In 1995 there were (18) 30+ home run hitters. In 1996 there were “43″ 30+ home run hitters. That’s doubled plus some from the prior year.
Look at this link and tell me what guys do you think were juiced in 1996.

I always suspected Brady Anderson cause he just had that one good slugging year. But, I know Griffey didn’t juice, he barely liked to work out at all. Just natural talent.
You also have to take into account that 4 teams were added during this period to MLB. This watered down the pitchers. So, more bad pitchers = more home runs.
But, your point is taken, juicing defiantely has had a role.
