So assuming your premise correct, he said “yeah, I took bennies, and joined the juicers to extend my career at the Rangers”. as you seem to be saying, to what end does he “need to come clean”? Hey kids! You too can have a Hall of Fame career, and become wealthy enough to buy your team!! All with one easy step! Is he accused of a crime? “Used bennies for sure”? Some questions should not be asked, but if they were, I cannot think of anyone more likely to answer truthfully. It would not be good for baseball, simply because many kids would not believe him after so many have lied.

And, of course, he was associated with the Rangers when steroids were used regularly. He HAD to know and said nothing. Many players are accussed of being juicers because of their numbers and nothing else. Pitching well into his 40s with nearly 100 mph stuff. Come on, was it his God given ability, great training, or a little help from chemistry?

Anyway, everyone in baseball needs to come clean about their use of PEDs. BTW, bennies were very illegal during his era.

The drugs being—natural testosterone and adrenaline? Considering his longevity, if he did use PED’s it would encourage rather than discourage use, and was probably legal in his era.
