THE 50 HR CLUB...a very telling list.....

Posted By: Dan McCarthy

I agree with the majority of your assessment but I think that the Fielders, Griffey, Ortiz, and Howard are all clean. I suppose you could say they are all suspected users, but with the way today's game is I think you may be able to group ALL players under that category (even the Ryan Freels of the world - look at Alex Sanchez). Hank Aaron had his career high in homers in his 17th year in the big leagues, at age 37. Today that would raise eyebrows, despite the consistency throughout his career. Lots of sluggers have had career AVGs under .300 (see Killebrew, Mathews, Stargell, Schmidt, etc), they just never quite managed to hit 50 homers. Most would agree that those guys were great hitters. I think that constraining the list to only those who hit over 50 limits the sample of statistics too much to draw any conclusion as far as whether a low batting avg and high home run numbers correlate in any way to PED use.
