Bodybuilders playing baseball?
What if bigger was better and the major leagues scouted the sport of bodybuilding? Could the massive athlete become a mammoth hitting machine? The bad taste of performance enhancing drugs have made the sport a real head scratcher over the last decade. The latest sting was the Hall of Fame voters and what to do with the "Steroid Era". The evolution of the athlete and their training and diet like anything else in society followed the same BBD rule! Bigger, Better, Deal, that motto was never been more clear in the eyes of all baseball fans in the mid 80's thru the early 2000's. We watched homerun after home run fly out of parks with the jubulation of fans almost uncontollable!
So, with all that written what if a major league clubs would have scoured the gyms to find the next Huge star! Asking the dreaded dumb questions like "How much can you bench?", "How big are your arms", or "Wow, what is your diet?". If all that worked out and found someone willing to get out from under a one ton sguat bar and swing a bat for some scouts. One of these bodybuilders could have been the greatest homerun hitter of all time.
Here is a team by team look into who would have fit onto each major league club.
