Here's a picture of Pud in the later years.
Galvin is the first baseball player to be widely known for using performance enhancing drugs. In 1889, over 100 years before the current steroid controversy in Major League Baseball, he was known to have injected monkey testosterone before pitching.
He got away with it for awhile - but later in his career he began growing a long tail.
That was the beginning of the end for Pud.

I read Babe Ruth tried Sheep's testosterone once but got so sick he ended up in the hospital. They reported it as a stomache ache
A Sheep??
I could understand a Goat.
But a Sheep.

Two guys are walking through the woods and come across this big deep hole.
"Wow...that looks deep."
"Sure does... toss a few pebbles in there and see how deep it is?"
They pick up a few pebbles and throw them in and wait... no noise.
"Jeeez. That is REALLY deep... here.. throw one of these great big rocks down there. Those should make a noise."
They pick up a couple football-sized rocks and toss them into the hole and wait... and wait. Nothing.They look at each other in amazement. One gets a determined look on hisface and says, "Hey...over here in the weeds, there's a railroad tie. Help me carry it over here. When we toss THAT sucker in, it's GOTTA make some noise."
The two men drag the heavy tie over to the hole and heave it in. Not a sound comes from the hole. Suddenly, out of the nearby woods, a sheep appears, running like the wind. It rushes toward the two men, then right past them, running as fast as it's legs will carry it. Suddenly it leaps in the air and into the hole. The two men are astonished with what they've just seen...Then, out of the woods comes a farmer who spots the men and ambles over.
"Hey... you two guys seen my sheep out here?"
"You bet we did! Craziest thing I ever seen! It came running like crazy and just jumped into this hole!"
"Nah," says the farmer, "That couldn't have been MY sheep. My sheep was chained to a railroad tie."

Modern day players have stepped up teste usage from another animal. Notice the head size
The original Cone Head.
Nobody said anything about a Red Headed Gorilla.

It's apparent that he is not endorsing this new product...

THis highly evolved primate no longer needs the use of his index finger to enjoy the aroma
Durante Durante

Durante used "monkey nose DNA" - applied via a clear cream.
He claimed he didnt know what it was at the time - but he used it anyway for about 10 years.
Hence - the monster schnozz

I think this dad found out the hard way that he should have told his son to use gloves when putting on the steroid cream.

Durante and Rayman must have shared the Monkey Nose DNA.
