The home run is one of the most exhilarating plays in baseball. Homers showcase a player's power and skill. They can pump up or deflate a crowd and change the dynamic of a game in an instant.
Over the years, several Major League Baseball players have amassed impressive home run totals in a single season. Barry Bonds holds the MLB record for the most homers in a campaign, with 73 in 2001. Bonds also owns the record for the most career home runs, with 762.
Cal "Big Dumper" Raleigh of the Seattle Mariners has been leading the league in home runs this year.
