With Reggie Jackson retiring with just 124 career home runs to become the 19th straight failure,
One of the real life 400 club made headlines when Barry Bonds set the rookie home run record with 39 home runs. Of course I'm sure that the steroid era players will have success…
Ralph Bryant led the league with 51 home runs this season.
