This is a list as of the end of the 2019 season of the top 500 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 benefit of a fielding error. This can be accomplished by hitting the ball out of play in fair territory (a conventional home run), or by an inside the park home run , where the batter circles the bases before the ball can be delivered to a fielder to tag him out.
Barry Bonds holds the Major League Baseball career home run record with 762. He passed Hank Aaron , who is second with 755, on August 7 , 2007 . Third is Babe Ruth with 714. Alex Rodriguez (696), Willie Mays (660), Albert Pujols (656), Ken Griffey, Jr. (630), Jim Thome (612) and Sammy Sosa (609) are the only other players to have hit 600 or more.
Bonds' total was limited by teams essentially refusing to sign him for the 2008 season. Ruth's total was limited by spending the early part of his career as a pitcher. Mays' total was limited by years in the Army during the Korean War. Several players, including Ted Williams and Hank Greenberg , gave up a number of years to serve in World War II.
The current cutoff for the top Five Hundred is 157 career home runs. The most recent additions to the list were George Springer in September 2019, Charlie Blackmon and Eric Hosmer in June 2019, Mike Moustakas and Jose Abreu in May 2019, Mitch Moreland in April 2019, Asdrubal Cabrera in July 2018, Justin Smoak and Ian Desmond in June 2018, Manny Machado , Khris Davis and Nolan Arenado in May 2018, J.D. Martinez , Bryce Harper and Brian Dozier in April 2018.
Only 4 players with 400 home runs are active as of September 30, 2019. Albert Pujols of the Angels has 656 (23 in 2019), Miguel Cabrera of the Tigers has 477 (12 in 2019), Edwin Encarnacion of the Yankees has 414 (34 in 2019), Nelson Cruz of the Tigers has 401 (41 in 2019).
