    8 best power hitters?

    Only 8 players have ever collected more than 100 homers across two consecutive seasons:

    Sosa, McGwire, Bonds, Ruth, Ortiz, A-Rod, Griffey Jr., Ralph Kiner.

    How many of them were juicing?

    Well, 2 of those guys are admitted. A 3rd has piles of evidence against him. But that's it.

    And if I catch you talking to Clay like that again I'll knock your teeth in.

    8 out of 8, granted I am not exactly sure when juicers where first invented so its possible Ruth didn't have one so therefore he could not have made his own juice with a juicer.
    Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are .

    Agreed.

    Unless we're counting orange, apple, grape, etc. as forms of 'juicing'.

    i'll go sosa, mcgwire, a-rod, and bonds.

    and then it depends what you consider juicing, if you mean roids...then I really don't know....players that took certain ped's....not so sure.

    Kiner and Griffey I am the most positive about never doing anything wrong personally.

    I once hung out with Ken Griffey and Ralph Kiner and they both were drinking apple juice.

    I am not sure about
    Sosa, Ortiz,

    didn't juice
    Griffey Jr., Ralph Kiner. and ruth


    Now the scary part, 3 of those 8 players were part of the Mariners organization at one time, 3 out of 6 were players during the the existence of the franchise.. that is 50%!!!!...The Mariner Franchise is one organization that has the most caught steroid users.... just sayin. But I don't think that Griffey juiced because he didn't need to...his talent was that amazing...later in his career that took his toll because he never conditioned in his first 10 years in Seattle.
