There are other players (Nomar Garciaparra, Pedro Martinez), who have changed their feelings towards the press/public over time as well.
Maybe it has to do with steroid use, maybe it doesn't. We'll probably never know.

How mean has he really been though? I thought it was just that he didn't sign autographs or care for the fans? He hasn't thrown chairs or attacked people.
All roids are different. Given his wealth and fame he had access to quite a bit of synthetic steroids on the market which were designed in any way he probably could have wanted. A lot of basic steroids do mess with your hormones but there are ways to keep from going bald, developing bitch tits, and shrinking your nads for example.
