A few months ago, ESPN the magazine ran a picture with the home-run leaders and various asterisks next to their total. Does anyone remember which issue this picture was in? Their website doesn't have the picture online and the issue descriptions are no help at all.
Thanks

They were for various things - I can't remember all off the top of my head but Bonds and McGwire were for steroids, Ruth was because he never faced Negro League pitchers, somebody else's was because of the diluted expansion pitching.
It was a cool picture but I don't want to order every ESPN mag from the past year to find it as no library around me subscribes.

Was that the cover or an article inside? I glanced through a few magazines dating back to January and didnt notice anything like that.
