Hey I got a question...

...I remember that back in the day, in the 90's-early 2000's, nobody in the Home Run Derby hit alot of home runs in a single round...I think the record for a while was 13 by McGwire in '99...the Home Run Derby winner would win with just 8-10 homers in each round...but nowadays, we have guys hitting 10, 15, 20 homers in a single round...and to ME, that's weird, because the 90's is a big part of what is called "The Steroid Era", and the guys everyone associates with steroids (McGwire, Sosa, Canseco, Bonds) were active...yet none of them hit as many home runs in the HR Derby as some guys do today, when supposedly the Steroid issue is being taken care of...

...why do u think this is?
