whole career for that matter? I believe Mike Greenwell of the Red Sox was 2nd in the running for it. Also, should the late-Ken Caminiti be stripped of his 1996 NL MVP award? He also admitted to using roids during that season. Not sure who finished 2nd that season.

No. The records are tainted... But how do you know Greenwell didn't juice? There's too much gray space... The point is, since so many players juiced, you can't punish some, therefore rewarding others.

Nope. As I have stated in prev posts there have always been drugs in baseball that improved performance. You would need 5 different record books to account for that alone. Then you have to have different ones based off race eras in baseball because you have races not allowed to compete.
Keep it how it is.
Mike Piazza was the runner up in 1996 (95% sure)
delhi-- it is against the law to hit a another person (assault). Baseball doesn't ban players and take away stats everytime there is a fight in baseball.

Yes he should, I hear that it wasn't against the rules. It was against the law. Baseball can't set a lower standard than the law, if they wanted to ban a substance that was not against the law like like vaseline or emery boards great. If it's against the law it is against the rules.

It wasn't against the rules, so it's tough to make that sort of judgment.
