d237cc7b22b1ee82e11c3cf7969b2271-getty-80324286jd019_cincinnati_re[1].jpg One of the pleasant side effects of MLB's recent crackdown on performance enhancing drugs is that the game's top power guys are not all muscle-bound workout freaks. In a return to old-school baseball, we've got some fat boys among the game's best power hitters.

Take for example the following examples ...

Prince Fielder (pictured), Milwaukee Brewers, 50 home runs last year

Miguel Cabrera, Detroit Tigers, 34 home runs last year

Ryan Howard, Philadephia Phillies, 47 home runs last year

It's good to see home runs are again being hit the old fashion way.
