What's a Steroid Era Homer Worth?

Kevin Hench of foxsports.com discusses this in his most recent article. Says
Hench:

"By crunching the numbers of the top 10 home run leaders in each league for
the 43 seasons preceding the Steroid ERA (1993-2003) and the numbers for the
top sluggers during the Chicks Dig the Long Ball Boom, I've determined that a
Steroid Era homer, assuming it was hit by a juicer, is worth .75 of a legit
dinger."

Hench has determined this by doing some "number-crunching." Here are the
results (by decade) when averaging the top 10 home run hitters for each
season in both leagues:

1950's: 30.9
1960's: 32.6
1970's: 30.7
1980's: 31.1
1990-1992: 31.5
1993-2003: 41.7

By this logic, Alex Rodriguez is left with a career total of 458 home runs
(when multiplying his home runs from the Steroid Era by 0.75). Bonds would be
left with 641 home runs, Sosa would be under 500, the list goes on. But I
think the quote of the day is when Hench states, "With all the cheats on the
all-time home run leaderboard, it might be easier to just put an asterisk
next to Hank Aaron's 755* with this notation: *Aaron was not on steroids."

You think we'll still be talking about this in twenty years? I really, really
hope not.

Kevin Hench 原文有舉例

Bonds hit 482 home runs in the Steroid Era so he'll lose 121 home runs,
leaving him with a career total of 641, good for fourth place all time,
behind Willie Mays (660), Babe Ruth (714) and rightful home run king Hank
Aaron (755). Now if we can only purge the images of that nauseating pursuit
and passing of The Hammer in 2007.
