	i think griffey will go down as the greatest of the era not to have been linked to steroids.

	Great Quiz, I can't wait for the rest of the decades. However I must agree with smreidy113, It's sad to see so many steroid users.

	bobc:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 18:13 GMT	23 points
	Yes, other decades please!

	@Nuclear_Knuckles - he did not say that Griffey did not use steroids; he only said he's going to be remembered as the best in this era not linked to steroids. No one can know for sure if someone is clean, but it is a fact that Griffey has never (yet) been seriously linked to steroids.

	@Athletic - it's not a level playing field in a historical context. It puts all of their career achievements (in comparison with players of other eras) in doubt and disrepute. Not to mention the silliness of the idea that they were ALL doing it...

	You'd have an easier time picking out the guys that haven't been linked than the guys who have. Griffey, McGriff, Fielder, Carter...

	Swellwrench, if you understand anything about baseball history, there are no level playing fields. The ball, the parks, the bats, the mounds, the weather, the strategies -- none of these have ever remained constant, and they all have affected the stats, sometimes to a tremendous degree.

	"technically a legal playing field at the time" which is a bullsh*t argument because steroids have been a Schedule III drug (read: illegal) under the Controlled Substance Act since 1990.

	I'm pretty sure federal law supersedes baseball policy.

	swellwrench: was it a level playing field when Cy Young won 511 games, or when Bob Gibson posted a 1.12 ERA in 1968? There's no such thing as a "level playing field" from a historical perspective. Every era should be judged on its own merit.

	reminds me of Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball for N64

	Every Sporcle quiz he's in, I forget Rafael Palmeiro. If only he could forget waving his finger in Congress' face.

	He's got a rocket for an arm. You don't know what the hell you're doin'!

	great quiz, more decades, and in a million years I NEVER EVER would have gotten the guy with 235

	not that im trying to defend what he did in this decade, but bonds was definitely clean(er) in the 90s.

	beckleyman:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 19:25 GMT	5 points
	If Griffey had gotten on the juice, then his HR numbers would be really astronomical. He has spent alot of time on the DL since he left Cincy, or he wouldve cracked the HR record before Bonds.

	One of my favourite quizzes on this site. I'd love to see an 80's one as well.

	moegoldberg:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 19:29 GMT	6 points
	@gramblog - not even close - John Kruk had 59 HRs in the 90s

	JohnJF:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 19:29 GMT	7 points
	All of these people were an unquestioned part of my youth in the 1990s, except for Dean Palmer, who apparently hit a lot more home runs than I thought.

	I really though Edgar would be on this list but I guess he had his best year in 2000, bummer. Great Quiz!

	I thought the same thing about edgar. tried caminiti and brady anderson as well thinkin along with the whole steroids idea.

	midlineshift:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 20:17 GMT	3 points
	Fun game! Would love to see one for other decades and other sports, especially hockey.

	y2jdilemma:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 20:18 GMT	17 points
	I was surprised by the absence of Jim Thome and Gary Sheffield on this. Love the quiz though, hope to see more.

	Haunter:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 20:36 GMT	5 points
	Ken Griffey, Jr. is the last great baseball hero. Jay Buhner wasn't a bad sidekick, either.

	havlorech:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 20:58 GMT	6 points
	I got freaking Dean Palmer and missed Frank Thomas. The clock messes with your mind.
