The Top 15

My friend PK does a little dirt digging and finds gold:

 

“Below is the top 15 all time home run hitters. The asterisk means they were definite PED cheaters. The parentheses next to a player's home-run total means he's an active player and that's his age.

More than a third of the 15 greatest HR hitters of all time are cheats; the verdict seems uncertain on Thome, who I don't think did them but I'm not really certain. If he's ever found guilty, that means half the top 15 are 'roid guys.

It's pretty amazing and stark when you put it into that perspective, i think.
