MLS Alltime Leading Goalscorer Timeline

Counting regular season matches only, here's the history of the record now jointly held by DC United's Jaime Moreno and FC Dallas' Jeff Cunningham.

By the end of 1996, two men had begun a battle over the title that would last through 2000. Finally, on August 5th, 2000, Roy Lassiter overtook Raul Diaz Arce for sole possession of the goalscoring record. He would hold the title until mid-2004, when Jason Kreis surpassed him. In 2007, Jaime Moreno became the leader and now, Jeff Cunningham is at the doorstep.

In all competitions, Moreno still has a double digit lead.

There's a chance some of the early stuff might be incorrect, as I assumed that games on the east coast started an hour earlier than games in central time (which is usually the case). Also, Preki's 4th goal which tied McBride would have come almost at the exact same time as McBride's 5th, so it's hard to tell if it tied the record without actually seeing the broadcasts.

Thought about doing this for playoff scorers? ... it'd be equally interesting and a lot less work.

Thx
