Do you think Boston Red Sox would have won the World Series in 2004 if it did't have so many jack up steroid users on their team ?
Juicers ruin Boston Red Sox moments of glory
Better Question: Would they have got that far?
Truthfully, I don't think the full extent of MLB steroid use will ever be known. Without knowing that, it's nearly impossible to say what impact it had on individual team performances. Interestingly, the Mitchell Report didn't name any then-current Red Sox. George Mitchell's connections to the Bosox are well-known. Coincidence? I think not.
Report: Red Sox Fired Remy's Son In Steroid Probe
Close numSlides of totalImages
The Red Sox fired two security staffers last summer after an investigation into steroid use, according to a published report. Jared Remy, the son of Red Sox television commentator Jerry Remy, and Nicholas Alex Cyr both told the Boston Globe they used steroids, but denied any knowledge of drug use by players. The Red Sox issued a statement saying they worked with Major League Baseball in investigating Remy and Cyr and firing them, but said that investigation is confidential. Major League Baseball said its investigation was "thorough and detailed." The Globe says state police confiscated a vial of steroids from Cyr's car just before last year's All-Star break and Cyr told police he had bought the drug from Remy.

steroids was too much of an issue to know who would have still won. But maybe we can assume that the better teams had more players using.
The top teams had the most steriod users
