The 1990s and early 2000s were a wild time in baseball. Players like Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, and Barry Bonds became famous for their incredible power and were linked to performance-enhancing drugs. The numbers were absolutely crazy. In 1998, McGwire hit 70 home runs and Sosa hit 66, both chasing Roger Maris’ record of 61. In 2001, Barry Bonds took it even further by hitting an incredible 73 home runs in one season. The home runs were also unbelievably long. Some of McGwire’s shots traveled over 500 feet, showing just how much power these players had. The huge home runs, crazy numbers, and rivalries made this one of the most entertaining eras in baseball history. - follow ( slugger.report ) for insane baseball content - #baseball #mlb #baseballplays #markmcgwire #barrybonds
