FIRST BASE
Jason Giambi, New York Yankees

Unlike most of his fellow steroid abusers, Yankees first baseman Jason Giambi has actually admitted to using performance-enhancing drugs. He first came clean to a grand jury in 2003, and then in 2007, Giambi told USA Today, "[I was] wrong for doing that stuff." The vague admission led the Yankees to look into voiding his enormous contract and MLB to "investigate the matter." Nothing ever came out of the investigations, but Giambi has since revived his career, and, instead of relying on drugs, he's now succeeding on the power of the 'stache.

SECOND BASE
Jeff Kent, Los Angeles Dodgers

Long considered one of baseball's biggest pricks, Jeff Kent became embroiled in scandal when he showed up for spring training in 2002 with a broken wrist. Kent said he broke the bone taking a spill while washing his truck. Turns out he was lying. Reports surfaced that Kent had in fact broken his wrist while getting a little too creative on his motorcycle. Problem was, Kent's huge contract with the Giants forbade him from riding motorcycles. In the end, the Giants forgave their slugging second basemen and he returned to the field as healthy and surly as ever.
