For many decades, Major League Baseball dealt with whispers of steroid use. Whether it was a small problem or a rampant issue, however, was something of great debate.

Turns out, it was the latter.

In hindsight, we remember the “Steroid Era” that extends as far back as the mid-1980s and into the mid-2000s.

Numerous star players—from Mike Schmidt and Goose Gossage to Jose Canseco and Mark McGwire—all admitted to using amphetamines or steroids. Several other famous players were either implicated or tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs, including Barry Bonds, Alex Rodriguez, Ryan Braun, Nelson Cruz and more.

The aftermath of the Steroid Era is that numerous stars, such as Bonds, Roger Clemens, Sammy Sosa and Rafael Palmeiro, have not been voted in the Hall of Fame.
