Most Seasons With 60, 50, 40, 30, 20 or 10 Home Runs

Baseball Almanac is pleased to present a record book for most seasons with 60 home runs, 50 home runs, 40 home runs, 30 home runs, 20 home runs, 10 home runs, and a single home run by Baseball Almanac.

NOTES: Record holders are listed in descending order. Ties for same number of seasons are alphabetized. Team data and league data (ML if they have more than one type of quantatitive season from each league) are displayed just for informational purposes.

"'If I get there (60 home run club), I get there,' (Ryan) Howard said. 'I'm not going to worry about that stuff. Obviously, I'd like a chance [to hit in crucial] spots, but if they won't pitch to me, someone else can get the job done.' Hitting 60 home runs is arguably the most difficult of the individual accomplishments, considering only five players have done it, and those five combined to do it eight times." - Sportswriter Ken Mandel on MLB.com (02/09/07, "Will anyone hit 60 home runs?", Source)
