Question

I've heard different amounts but I want to find out for sure, I'm being forced to do a paper on him.

ugh.

that cheater

Answer 1

He was pretty fat and back then FAT=Power  

Answer 2

None.

He was just a fatty.

Answer 3

Lots of the following:

Beer

Hot dogs

Cigars

s*x

Must be a winning combination.

Answer 4

In any case, "anabolic" steroids were invented and used for thousands of years, but first documented usage was in 1889 by a British neurologist.  First documented "modern" pharmaceutical (synthetic or organic) anabolic steroids were invented in 1931.  George Herman Ruth and others before him probably used something by another name that could have enhanced performance, but at least we know that steroids for performance were here way before the "Babe", so anything is possible!

Answer 5

Ummm First find out when they were introduced.  Ithink that it was well after the Ruth era.

Answer 6

none, there were no steroids then. he did hot dogs and beer.

Answer 7

yep all that steroids went to his stomach. he was just a natrually good hitter.

Answer 8

None. There were no steroids around in the Babe Ruth era. He did it all on hot dogs and beer.

Answer 9

None.  Anabolic steroids weren't created until the mid to late 1930s and weren't use as performance-enhancing drugs until the late 1940s.  Ruth's career ended in 1935 and he died in 1948, making his use of them impossible.

Answer 10

Cheating has been going on since the element of competition entered the sports world many, many years ago. If it wasn't called steroids it had to be called something else. Pure talent can only take you so far.

Answer 11

Babe could hit home runs even when he's drunk. Not even steroids could have done that.

And make sure you get the facts straight before you go on and try to taint someone's career. Go based on what you read, not what you heard.  

Answer 12

uhh none. imagine if babe ruth played in todays era. hed average 80 home runs a year, if not more. he would go across the street DURING a game to have a couple beers then come back to the game drunk. his "steroids" were hot dogs and beer.

Answer 13

Steroids hadn't been produced at that time. He did it on booze, hot dogs, and hookers.

Answer 14

Not more than the following:

Pujols ( he will finish his career looking like Bonds)

Shefield ( Taking cream steriods)

Hamilton ( Roids and tats)

Howard

Pierre lol jk

Answer 15

Whole chickens before games...

There weren't any steroids back then. Hot dogs, chickens, and beer gave him the power to do what he did.

And I am sick of people thinking just because a guy is good and can hit home runs they are taking steroids!
