But the difference is that while the entire league played under the same circumstances with integration, mound height, expansion, etc., the entire league did not play under the same circumstances with juicing. If McGuire goes deep off of LaTroy Hawkins because McGwire is juicing and Hawkins isn't, then that is an advantage to McGwire. The mound height was the same for everyone. Similarly, if Jeter is clean but putting up numbers against McGwire and Bonds, then that is a disadvantage to Jeter. Especially at the SS and other traditional nonpower positions, guys like Jeter and Vizquel had numbers overshadowed by juicers like Tejada and ARod. Hell, if you take Bernie Williams' numbers in a vacuum without the juiced OFs of his day that skewed the standard, would he be HOF?
We don't know who used steroids or greenies. there's only a witch hunt for one.
