 COCAINE & DRUGS

   Major League baseball is so involved with Steroids these days that we've pretty much forgotten that in the 1980s it was Cocaine and Drugs. It came to the forefront when seven players on the Pittsburgh Pirates were found to have been involved in the above and then it escalated into a full fledged problem. According to Keith Hernandez (who was found to have been a Cocaine user as well) over 40% of ML baseball players were involved.
