Jose Bautista became the first Blue Jay to hit 50 homeruns in a season last week and the accomplishment brought little more than silence at first. That said, the silence soon turned to whispers, and then to out-loud speculation as Bautista was faced with direct questions about performance enhancing drugs. The shadow of the steroid era still looms large it seems as speculation rose across the country, and BetUS posted odds on baseball and steroids.
