List of top 500 Major League Baseball home run hitters

This is a list as of September 18, 2020 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 (660), 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 159 career home runs. The most recent additions to the list were Yadier Molina in September 2020, Eugenio Suarez in September 2020, Marcell Ozuna in September 2020, George Springer in September 2019, Charlie Blackmon and Eric Hosmer in June 2019, Mike Moustakas and Jose Abreu in May 2019, and Mitch Moreland in April 2019.

Only 4 players with 400 home runs are active as of September 18, 2020. Albert Pujols of the Angels has 660 (4 in 2020), Miguel Cabrera of the Tigers has 483 (6 in 2020), Edwin Encarnacion of the White Sox has 423 (9 in 2020), Nelson Cruz of the Twins has 417 (16 in 2020).
