Trying to pick a steroids-free home run derby

ESPN, in one of its special "playoff" showdowns, plans a 32-player mock home run derby and wants fan input.

The problem is in selecting seven post-1980 home run greats, at least seven who aren't known or highly suspected roiders.

ESPN gimmicks, like the MLB Hall of Fame, sometimes run head-on into the cold light of reality.

Unless Darryl Strawberry was juicing, though, I managed to do it.
