Baseball’s juiced ball era and McGwire’s record
Tim Cowlishaw argues the strike era altered baseball with a doctored ball and rising home run totals. He credits Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa while warning records may fall only if the ball is changed or the strike zone returns. He cites Ruth, Maris, and 1994 as turning points and notes Albert Belle’s late-season power.
