July 12, 201412 yr Several have had 6 hit 20, but those top 5 are the most prolific quintet ever. Although I have Junior with 56, not 58.Your right, typo...soon as you said mid 90's they were the first team I thought of.
July 12, 201412 yr Jr's Mariners the year he hit 56! One of his best seasons!!! 1997 Actually had 6 guys with 20 bombs or more!!! Jr 58 Buhner 40 Sorrento 31 Edgar 28 A-Rod 23 Russ Davis 20 Several have had 6 hit 20, but those top 5 are the most prolific quintet ever. Although I have Junior with 56, not 58. Your right, typo...soon as you said mid 90's they were the first team I thought of. I'm going to have to say that you two are wrong on this one. The 1997 Colorado Rockies looked like this: Andres Galarraga 41 Vinny Castilla 40 Dante Bichette 26 Larry Walker 49 Ellis Burks 32 If my math is correct that adds up to 188 homers.

Your math is correct -- not sure why the answer was wrong. Great call AJG!
July 12, 201412 yr Good Catch...I was thinking all guys hitting over 20 which was 198 not just the top 5 until Ment pointed it out.
July 12, 201412 yr I've got one that I heard tonight. There are 3 active players that have more bases on balls than strike outs for their career. (They have to have at least 400 bases on balls) Name them.
July 12, 201412 yr I'd guess Albert and Cabrera right off Albert Pujols is correct: 1092 BBs, 874 Ks. Miguel Cabrera is not: 834 BBs, 1257 Ks.
July 12, 201412 yr I thought of one and looked it up Mauer...I'd have never guessed the third but I was close
July 12, 201412 yr I thought of one and looked it up Mauer...I'd have never guessed the third but I was close Joe Mauer has 650 BBs and 628 Ks--but with 64 Ks and 34 BBs this season he might not be on this list by the end of the year.
July 12, 201412 yr Albert Pujols is correct: 1092 BBs, 874 Ks. That is pretty amazing for a power hitter.
July 12, 201412 yr That is pretty amazing for a power hitter.When not injured he's one of the purest hitters in the history of the game. He's on track for 3000 hits (needs 555) and 600 Hrs (needs 78) and a shot at 2000 RBI (needs 440), that will put him in some rare company.

I'm sorry I under estimated it when I said "Rare Company"...it would be in a very small exclusive club of two if he makes it. Only one player in HISTORY has over 3000 hits, over 600 HRs and over 2000 RBI's...the most under appreciated player in Baseball History...Hank Aaron!
