The controversial Bonds — who is not in the Hall of Fame — sits atop the list for most home runs in a career (762) and most in a single season (73 in 2001). The seven-time MVP is also the all-time leader in walks (2,558) and led the league in on-base percentage 10 times.
Hammerin’ Hank hit 755 homers in his career without hitting 50 in a single season and leading MLB only four times. A model of consistency, the Alabama native smacked at least 40 bombs in a season eight times, with a high of 47 in 1971.
The Sultan of Swat was by far the greatest power hitter of his era, leading the majors in home runs 12 times in a 14-year stretch from 1918-1931. Maybe the best stat to explain his dominance: In 1920, his 54 home runs (then a single-season record) were more than the total for each of the other 15 teams in the major leagues.
Another controversial figure on this list, A-Rod enjoyed an incredible mid-career run in which he averaged 46 home runs during a nine-year period from 1999-2007. He had 613 home runs at the conclusion of the 2010 season (while still only 35) but managed only 83 more due to injury and suspension.
The only active player on this list (Miguel Cabrera became the 28th member of the 500 home run club on Aug. 22), Pujols was designated for assignment by the Angels on May 6, but quickly signed with the Dodgers and has continued to add to his impressive total despite receiving limited playing time. Pujols burst on the scene with 37 home runs as a ro...
Mays is recognized as one of the greatest all-around players in the history of the game. In addition to hitting 660 home runs, he stole 338 bases (while leading the league in four straight seasons, 1956-59), scored 2,062 runs and collected 3,283 hits.
Few players have enjoyed a five-year run as successful as Griffey’s from 1996-2000, when he averaged 50 home runs and 137 RBIs while hitting .290 and slugging .604. He appeared destined to flirt with the all-time record but failed to hit 30 in a single season over his final six years in the majors.
Arguably the least well known of any player on this list, Thome was a potent power source for the Indians, Phillies and White Sox from the late 1990s through mid-2000s. He enjoyed a monster 2007 season in Cleveland, when he hit 52 home runs and led the league in slugging (.677) and OPS (1.122).
One of the players most associated with baseball’s steroid era of the late 1990s/early 2000s, Sosa averaged an incredible 58 home runs during a five-year stretch from 1998–2002 — highlighted by the 66 bombs he hit in ’98 while involved in a memorable chase with Mark McGwire.
Robinson burst onto the baseball scene with 38 home runs and a league-high 122 runs scored as a 20-year-old rookie with the Reds in 1956. He continued to be one of the game’s top power hitters for the next 15 years, though he led the league in homers only once (49 in 1966).
