Nah, having a bunch of armchair inquisitors is much more accurate.

I didn't see any rules, I was just clarifying that these were MY faves, not the best.

I didn't see Patrick Kane on your list, he was a great DH.

Back off topic.

I'm not the one on a witch-hunt here, I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy.

I know he was a three time MVP and then went on to win four consecutive MVP awards after an 8 year "break". A guy whose career best 49 HR's (up 15 from just a year before), then hit 73 without any help? Puh-lease.

I don't think hypocrisy is the issue unless you are trying to make the case of steroids being no more of a performance enhancing drug than a drug that mimicks caffeine, albeit with more severe side effects.

I'd also point out that during that, "8 year break", he was an All-Star every year, won four GG, four SS, and finished in top top five in MVP voting four times.

Couldn't the same logic be used for anabolic steroids that you're using for amphetamines? After all, anabolic steroids are a drug that mimics testosterone, albeit with more side effects. See how that works?
