Pujols intends to retire at the end of this season and will likely fall just short of the all-time home run record with the St. Louis Cardinals, currently held by Stan Musial. Cabrera, from the Detroit Tigers, will retire at the end of the 2023 season, which gives him a better opportunity to pass Al Kaline for the franchise record. It's one of the most revered, yet controversial, records in all of sports.
Sammy Sosa played for four different teams, yet he’s most memorable for his 13 seasons with the Chicago Cubs, where he eclipsed "Mr. Cub", Ernie Banks, for the franchise home run record with 545 dingers. Banks sits in second place in Cubs history with 512, followed by Billy Williams , Ron Santo , and Ryne Sandberg . Cal Ripken holds the MLB record for most consecutive games played, but he also holds the Baltimore franchise record with 431 home runs for the Orioles. Hall of Famer Eddie Murray is second on the Orioles' home run list with 343 long balls. Mathews was a consistent power hitter for the Milwaukee Braves in the '50s and early '60s, hitting at least 30 home runs nine straight seasons.
This is each position's top home run hitter
Zimmerman retired last season with a franchise-best in home runs, finishing well ahead of Vladimir Guerrero , who had previously held the record as a member of the Montreal Expos from 1996 to 2003. Ken Griffey had two stints with the Seattle Mariners at the start and end of his 22-season career. In total, he spent 13 years with the Mariners and led the franchise with 417 home runs. Teammates Edgar Martinez and Jay Buhner also put up some strong numbers, but they both came up well short of challenging their Hall of Fame franchise-mate.
Brett set the franchise mark for the Kansas City Royals with 317 home runs, but there's one specific homer that stands out in one of the most bizarre situations in MLB history. The pine tar incident against the New York Yankees in 1983 might be Brett's most famous round-tripper. Jim Thome is the franchise's top slugger with 337 home runs, followed by Albert Belle and Manny Ramirez . If Ramirez never left Cleveland for the Boston Red Sox, he would've passed Thome. Mike Schmidt led the National League in home runs eight times, the second most such titles in MLB history.
List of All-Time Franchise Home Run Leaders
Friday night in Los Angeles' Dodger Stadium, Cardinals legend Albert Pujols hit two home runs in the first four innings. Only three players had previously gotten to the threshold of 700 career home runs in Major League Baseball history. Piazza had nine career seasons with at least 30 home runs, more than double the total of any other catcher, and his personal best was 40, which he accomplished twice (1997, '99). Overall, the Hall of Fame backstop crushed 427 career homers in 16 seasons, with 396 of his long balls coming while he was playing the catcher position. Piazza also hit 18 homers as a designated hitter, eight as a first baseman and five as a pinch-hitter. For the purposes of this story, a player must have played at least two-thirds of his games at a position in order to qualify as its leader.

Considered by some to be the best third baseman of all time, Schmidt led the National League in home runs eight times during one 15-year stretch. He played his entire 18 years with the Phillies and was named NL MVP on three occasions. 44Hit a home run as one of his two third-inning hits against the Braves on July 18, 2019. He was only the fifth pitcher in the last 50 years to record two hits in the same MLB inning. The first pitcher to officially hit a home run was Jack Manning, who accomplished the feat on August 3, 1876.
Career Leaders & Records for Runs Scored
Stargell fell short of the 500-homer mark, but he holds the Pirates’ franchise record by a wide margin over Ralph Kiner and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1988. Stanton was a Marlin for only eight seasons and played fewer than 125 games in five of them, but the mammoth masher shattered the expansion franchise’s all-time home run record nonetheless. Stanton saved his best for last, slugging a single-season club record 59 homers and winning the NL MVP Award in 2017, his final year in Miami before being traded to the Yankees. Had Mickey Mantle stayed healthy throughout his career, he certainly would've challenged Ruth's mark. Lou Gehrig certainly would have as well, the way he was slugging prior to his tragic death as a result of the disease that bears his name .
The "Say Hey Kid" comfortably sits at the top of the Giants franchise mark for home runs. Willie Mays crushed 646 home runs in 21 seasons with the New York Giants and San Francisco Giants. Baseball purists are undoubtedly thrilled that Barry Bonds did not topple Mays' record; Bonds fell short of the mark with 586 home runs in a Giants uniform. The top five also includes Mel Ott , Willie McCovey , and Matt Williams .
List
One of the top sluggers of the 1990s, Gonzalez crushed 40-plus homers five times from '92-98, leading the Majors twice ('92, '93) and winning two MVP Awards ('96, '98) in that span. Gonzalez had another 39 homers in 1999 before Texas traded him to the Tigers in a nine-player blockbuster. Babe Ruth started his major league career as a pitcher before moving to the outfield. Atypically, a batter who hits a fair ball and touches each base in succession from 1st to home, without an error being charged to a defensive player, is credited with an inside-the-park home run. If, during a play, defensive or fan interference is called, and the awarded bases allow the batter to cross home plate, the batter is credited with a home run.
47Has hit 7 career home runs, but only 4 while playing in the pitcher position. While Lorenzen sometimes plays outfield, his other 3 home runs were as a pinch hitter. Lorenzen hit home runs on back-to-back nights against the Milwaukee Brewers in 2018—a solo home run as pitcher on June 29, and a grand slam as a pinch hitter on June 30. Mays is one of just nine players to belt 50-plus homers in a season more than once, and in 1969 he became the second player in Major League history to hit 600 home runs, joining Ruth in accomplishing the feat. In his 22-year career, the Say Hey Kid smacked 660 homers, the most among center fielders. Ken Griffey Jr. came close to that mark but ultimately fell short, finishing with 630.
A three-time MVP Award winner, Pujols became the ninth member of the 600 home run club in 2017 when he swatted a grand slam off Ervin Santana. However, Pujols actually ranks second when it comes to home runs hit as a first baseman , trailing Mark McGwire . Pujols has crushed 115 homers as a DH, 64 as a left fielder, 24 as a third baseman, seven as a pinch-hitter and six as a right fielder. Listed are all Major League Baseball players with 223 or more home runs hit during official regular-season games (i.e., excluding playoffs or exhibition games). Players in bold face are active as of the 2022 Major League Baseball season , with the number in parenthesis designating the number of home runs they have hit during the 2022 season.
This is a list of the 300 Major League Baseball players who have hit the most home runs. Joe Carter crushed one of the most memorable home runs in Toronto Blue Jays history with a walk-off home run in Game 6 of the 1993 World Series. However, he's only No. 5 on the all-time Blue Jays home run list with 203. Carlos Delgado leads the Blue Jays comfortably, followed by Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion .
Musial's franchise record has stood for nearly 60 years – and it should remain in place a while longer. Albert Pujols has hit 460 home runs and counting in a Cardinals uniform but is slated to retire at the end of the 2022 season. He'll need a historic run in his final month of the season if he wants to catch Musial.
