If indeed he has never used steroids, than I believe he is the biggest casualty of the steroids era. He was hitting 50-58 home runs a year in the late 1990's but it was totally overlooked because of Bonds, Sosa and McGwire. As a huge Seattle fan his impact on the Mariners as a franchise can not be overstated. He saved the team and almost single handedly brought the Mariners from a doormat to one of the best teams in baseball for a decade. I used to go to Mariner games in the mid-late 1980's and there would be 2000 people at the Kingdome. Post Griffey, they sold out almost every night.
