Sammy Sosa

The number seven position on list of most home runs with 608 is held by Slammin’ Sammy. He was also a seven-time All Star, dubbed National League MVP in 1998 and he retired in 2007 after an 18-year career. 

He retired a .273/.344/.534 (128 OPS+) hitter with 609 home runs and 1,667 RBI. Sosa never saw World Series playm but he did see the postseason twice. Sosa is the quickest National League player in history to 300 homers (1,052 games), 400 homers (1,354 games) and 500 homers (1,651 games). He also hit the most home runs in a five, six, seven, eight, nine and 10-year span in history.

His entry to the Baseball Hall of Fame also rests in the hands of those who believe he used PED’s. Supposedly, Sosa failed a drug test in 2003, but his name was never  publicly released.
