And Then There's Mark McGwire...


He crushed 583 home runs at a .394/.588 clip, the most prodigious home run hitter in Major League history. (A tater every 10.6 at bats.)

He may have also used steroids, as did many of his contemporaries, some of whom we know about and some of whom we don't. Maybe Robbie Alomar and Barry Larkin did.

Without better information, I can't make a judgment about steroid use generally or his in particular. So he's in, with plenty of room to spare.

When you're Babe Ruth's superior in the power game, you're a Hall of Famer.
