    Ruth
    Bonds
    Griffey Jr
    McGwire
    Adam Dunn (guy could hit the ball a mile)
    Othani
    Harper
    Frank Thomas, Tatis Jr, or Valdy Jr I cant really decide for the last spot.

    I had Prince Fielder there initially but needed to edit it for Othani.

    Gotta go with guys I saw live here...
    Juan Gonzalez
    Willie Stargell
    Reggie Jackson
    Mark McGwire
    Willie McCovey
    Aaron Judge
    Sammy Sosa
    Dave Kingman or Jose Canseco-- either one
    I couldn't decide between Rob Deer and Richie Sexson...so I went with Kingman (kidding)
    Sosa edges out Bo Jackson, Ichiro and Wade Boggs

    I was shocked when I saw Ichiro hit 6 balls in a ROW--3 made the concession concourse--at Comiskey Park. Boggs hit for unreal power in BP also.
