`'''This is a list as of August 15, 2022 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.
