In Case You Were Wondering:
"Over-Milligraming" Defined
Chipper Jones
seems to have coined a new word, or phrase, "over-milligraming."
Senior leaguer Chipper used a derivative of an old '70's term referencing
better baseball through chemistry, to more or less imply that his nemesis du
jour, Even Older Man Jamie Moyer, had enhanced his performance. "Over-Milligraming" Defined
"In the
1970’s players would joke that they were being “out milligramed” rather than
beaten." (From Steroids in Baseball, by James Whelan and
Jacob Lewis, Glenview Park Secondary School, Mr.
Richmire, MDM4UI, December 10th, 2010
- Hypothesis: The league leading batting and pitching stats will
decrease around the time of the drug test implementation in 2006.)

I pretty much knew what he was implying but was unfamiliar with the term. Google sent me here but was a good quick read that provided some clarification. Also, I remember that Topps rookie card and now feel old.
