I just returned from a place I've decided to be Man Heaven. Man Heaven is a place where loads and loads of men dressed in various colored athletic jerseys giddily board trams with feverish excitement to spend time with their favorite sports heroes. These men were squirming in their seats, beaming bright smiles and high-fiving their way all the way to the entrance gates of Disney World's Hollywood Studios. ESPN the Weekend is Man Heaven.

The weekend was filled with endless opportunities to meet, train with, question and listen to America's favorite ESPN stars: Donovan McNabb, Tony Gonzalez, Hershel Walker, John Stockton, Cal Ripken Jr., Chris Carter and more. Oodles of ESPN Sportscasters took stages across the park hosting their own scheduled and aired ESPN shows, and also hosted other fun question and answer sessions with the stars of Man Heaven.

Scientist explains how steroids turns into more home runs

Ever wonder how baseball players like Mark McGuire and Barry Bonds can line up and hit all those home runs with superhuman effort? In a way, maybe they are superhuman, since the products used to greatly enhance those home run-hitting abilities really don't put them on the same playing field as those that don't.

Steroids, which can boost muscle mass by 10 percent (sometimes more) can boost the home run percentage of batters by more than 50 percent, according to a U.S. physicist.

Notice it did not take a medical expert to say that, but a scientist who studied the relationship between muscle mass and the speed of one's baseball bat swing. Result: that ball's speed can be much faster as it leaves the bat due to the faster swing caused by the greater muscle mass.

That takes all the fun out of sports equality, though -- right? Or is that a concept that no longer has any meaning?
