No stranger to Homerun Derby's

The past decade in baseball will be refered to by most as the “steroids era,”  as there were few star players who excelled in the 2000’s without being linked to HGH and/or other performance enhancing drugs.  Nonetheless, the number 8 athlete is considered one of the greatest players ever, without the aid of steroids.   Likewise, this athlete ranks within the top 15 players in major league history in on-base percentage (twelfth), slugging percentage (fourth), on-base plus slugging (OPS; fourth), and adjusted OPS (tied for sixth) before the age of 30.
