Player Who Obviously Never Took Steroids - Rafael Belliard
Career Home Runs - 2
Years in MLB: 17 seasons
Commentary: I'm not sure what is more impressive; the fact that Rafael played for 17 seasons and hit only 2 home runs or the fact hit his 2 dingers a full decade apart. Just think about that for a moment. Rafeal hit his first career home run in 1987 and then proceeded to go 10 full seasons without hitting another home run. All I can say is that Rafeal must have been one hell of a fielder to make it that long in the majors with that kind of "power".

What if he juiced...just to get the two?
You can't do a list like this without including the great Felix Fermin and Alvaro Espinoza!!!
I'm sorry you never got to see Raffy play for the Braves or Pirates...they called him "Pac-Man"...and not because he had a proclivity for strippers, bling, and booze. He was money at short!
can i nominate Jason Tyner for this list...1100 ABs and counting. ZERO home runs. Have personally witnessed him hit flyballs to the wall half dozen times. Epitome of warning track power.
They do really count as home runs being a decade apart?
One of them as an inside-the-park job.
Steve Jeltz totally juiced to get two HR... in a single game.
I watched that game. The best part was when all the Brave players streamed out of the dugout, and some out of the lockeroom (some, like Chipper Jones, half-dressed) to congratulate him! An awesome baseball moment.
