Mark McGwire (1991-2002)
Mark McGwire's ALB career started off rough. During his first three seasons (with the Fishheads and Bockboys) he hit .225, .163 and .203 -- not exactly Hall of Fame stats. But starting with a move to the Weasels (a franchise he remained with despite becoming the Jersey Jews and later the Toltecs), his batting average rose and his power started to increase. By 1999, he won the first of two back-to-back MVP Awards, culminating in an ALB World Series victory in 2000 with the Jersey Jews. In addition to a second Flitter MVP, he also took home the World Series MVP that season. He spent his last season with Damage Inc.

Kevin Mitchell (Season 2-1999)
Those 91 home runs in Season 2, Mitchell's first season with the Dagos define ALB dominance to this day. Mitchell was voted league MVP in both Season 2 and 1990. He won an ALB Championship with the Homeboys in 1995, even winning the World Series MVP. It proved to be his only trip to the postseason due in large part to his early days with the pathetic Dagos/Debasers. At the end of his career, he spent time with the Mudslingers and Saturn.
