Bill Simmons decided with all the steroid junk going on, he'd try and pinpoint the Golden Age of baseball. Interestingly, it's not as early as you'd think. Simmons believes that 1988-1992 was the Golden Age of baseball.

I, however, would argue that dudes were still juicing back then, so I think his Golden Age is a little later than it should be. Weigh in with your thoughts below.
