    They are all real. Every single person on that list took every single one of those balls over a fence in an MLB ballpark. Some went farther than others because of PED's. But last time I checked, steroids dont give you 1/3 of a second to decide whether or not you want to swing and they certainly dont increase your skill level. You do that yourself. I'm not a fan of Bonds, but he had a home run swing, and I'll be damned if anyone says his home runs aren't real. You do need to know a little about hitting to begin with to manage to smash a baseball 350 + feet.

    2. Hank Aaron 755

    3. Babe Ruth 714

    4. Willie Mays 660

    5. Ken Griffey, Jr. 630

    Not everyone from '88 to present was/is involved. Thome may be iffy for some, I think he's been clean all along, but no Griffey? Come on man.

    Source(s): I'm just going by what the context of the question defines.

    Whoever says Killebrew isn't considered "clean" is by all means wrong. Killebrew played shortly after Maris, how could he have cheated???????

    Your top 15 is right on.

    Barry Bonds is atop the list. Whether you want to acknowledge that or not, it's up to you. Denial is a powerful thing. You can say "He took PED's" all you want, but you can't just go and say "his homers don't count", and "the record doesn't count." Because it does. Hank Aaron is the home run king, Barry Bonds has the all time home run record.

    Your list is the list. If you're asking which ones took steroids, well, you can do some research and find that out yourself. But remember, steroids were LEGAL, so you can't take anyone's record away. Barry Bonds owns the all-time record.
