Single Season Leaders for Home Runs in the American League

When Mark McGwire broke Roger Maris' single season record he brought back many of the fans who were still upset from the strike in 1994. When Sammy Sosa kept the pressure on McGwire and finished with sixty-six he brought back as many fans by his sheer class and off-field activities.

Baseball Almanac is pleased to present the top one-hundred (100) all-time single season leaders in Major League home runs. Note: A bold faced entry denotes that the player was active during the previous Major League season.
"I don't know (Jose) Canseco, besides hello and goodbye. I don't put any weight into what he says. Mark McGwire was a big boy in college. To me, Canseco, you've got to come with a whole lot more. ... It's to make a buck, that's all it is." - Barry Bonds on ESPN.com (AP Wire, 02/23/2005)

Current Through 2013 Season


Do you believe that Roger Maris is still the "true" single season home run leader due to the constant debate and controversy in respect to steroid usage amongst modern major league ballplayers? Tell us on Baseball Fever.

The code to write the single season home runs league splits was developed in 2005, launched during 2006 and made possible by your support — please continue helping us create these kinds of pages by supporting our site.

The American League single season record for home runs was set in 1961 by Roger Maris of the New York Yankees. The National League single season record for home runs is on this page. Is either the Career Leader for Home Runs?
