I was looking at a list of all time MLB HR leaders.
Fred McGriff had 493 and is tied for 29th, with Lou Gehrig.
However, McGriff has the most HR of any non-PED user who isn't active or in the HOF. The only non-HOFers with more: Miguel Cabrera (active), Gary Sheffield (roids), Manny Ramirez (roids), Rafael Palmeiro (roids and a limp dick), Mark McGwire (roids), Sammy Sosa (roids), Albert Pujols (active), Alex Rodriguez (roids), and Barry Bonds (roids).
McGriff HOF debate:

The case against McGriff was that he was a 1B (where the standard for offense is higher to be considered special), he averaged only 24 HR per year for the final 11 years of his career, and that he didn't hit the elusive 500 HR milestone.
However, he hit for average (especially early in his career), had almost 500 HR, and didn't take roids in an era when many other stars did, including pitchers he faced.
If Bonds, with his insane numbers, is shut out because of roids, shouldn't McGriff get a bump from playing in the same era
without roids? I think he should.
