That's the opposite case. It is a lot easier for a naturally large person to work out and make their frame more muscular. It is a lot harder for someone who should be 185 to 205 to add that much extra weight to their frame.

Should be. From all accounts, his dad was a large guy, wasn't he?

Because of off season workouts and things, these guys turn their bodies around alot quicker then normal people.

I am the first to admit that people use things they probably shouldn't be using, but I highly doubt Griffey was one of them. His name was never brought up in any of these allegations

I was just thinking, it is pretty amazing how fast that McGwire vanished from the game, don't hear a PEEP out of him....

His Dad weighed 200.

There are only 115 players that have been linked to steroids out of the thousands that played in the steroid era. That is just the tip of the iceberg. There are TONS of users that have never been linked. Griffey might not be one of them but not being linked certainly doesn't mean he's never used either.

195 as a rookie

I'd bet Wilt Chamberlain gained 100 pounds between the time he was 18 to when he retired.
