LeRoy Jones announced his retirement at the end of the year and will go out in second place on the career home run list, one of only two players to hit 400 home runs during their career. Jones didn't make it to the majors in real life, so he didn't hit any home runs.
Also retiring this year was Syl Simon, who finished in fifth place on the career home run list. Simon also didn't hit any home runs in real life.
That leaves nine active players among the top 25, with both Charlie Keller and Joltin' Joe DiMaggio appearing for the first time on the career home run leaderboard. Dropping off are Chick Tolson (158), Dan Boone (153), Chino Smith (153), and Cy Williams (153).
