- List of top 300 Major League Baseball home run hitters
-
This is a list of the top 300 Major League Baseball home run hitters. In the sport of baseball, a home run is a hit in which the batter scores by circling all the bases and reaching home plate in one play, without the benefit of a fielding error. This can be accomplished either by hitting the ball out of play while it is still in fair territory (a conventional home run), or by an inside the park home run.
Barry Bonds holds the Major League Baseball home run record with 762. He passed Hank Aaron, who is currently second with 755, on August 7, 2007. The only other player to have hit 700 or more is Babe Ruth with 714. Willie Mays (660), Ken Griffey, Jr. (630), Alex Rodriguez (629), Sammy Sosa (609) and Jim Thome (604) are the only other players to have hit 600 or more.
The last change in the cutoff for the top 300 was on September 1, 2011, when Matt Holliday hit his 200th home run and displaced César Cedeño and Jackie Jensen from the list.
