Gary Sheffield is an icon of the league. Sheffield played in the MLB for over two decades after his debut in 1988 with Milwaukee Brewers. The now 54-year-old was widely considered to be one of the most powerful hitters that graced the sport. Using the same strength, he hit his 500th home run in his forties, on April 17, 2009. With this record, Sheffield became the fourth oldest player to achieve this feat.
