Mark McGwire
McGwire is one of the best hitters the league has ever seen. A 12-time All Star who lead the league in 1987 (49), 1996 (52), 1998 (70) and 1999 (65) in homers, he was the first hitter to ever reach 70 home runs in a season. Among the list of players with over 3,000 plate appearances, he is the only one to have fewest at-bats per home run (10.61). Babe Ruth and Barry Bonds come in second and third, respectively, on that list.
McGwire never won an MVP Award, but finished top five in voting three times. He also has a World Series ring and three trips to the Fall Classic. He’s also admitted to PED usage during his playing career.
