List of Major League Baseball career home run leaders
This is a list of the top 300 Major League Baseball leaders in home runs hit. 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 the benefit of a fielding error. This can be accomplished either by hitting the ball out of play while it is still in fair territory, or by an inside-the-park home run.
Barry Bonds holds the Major League Baseball home run record with 762. He passed Hank Aaron, who hit 755, on August 7, 2007. The only other player to have hit 700 or more is Babe Ruth with 714. Alex Rodriguez, Willie Mays, Albert Pujols, Ken Griffey, Jr., Jim Thome, and Sammy Sosa are the only other players to have hit 600 or more.
Listed are all Major League Baseball players with 220 or more home runs hit during official regular season games. Players in bold face are active as of the 2020 Major League Baseball season, with the number in parenthesis designating the number of home runs they have hit during the 2020 season. The last change in the cutoff for the top 300 occurred on July 26, 2020, when Bryce Harper hit his 220th career home run, displacing Jim Bottomley, Josh Donaldson, Al Oliver, and Joe Pepitone.
