In 1973, three Braves reached the 40-home run level: Davey Johnson (43), Darrell Evans (41) and Hank Aaron (40). Since then, Atlanta players have rarely hit more than 40 homers in a season.
No
Many MLB teams have scored runs with multiple players in the same inning. Many MLB teams have also had multiple home runs by different players occur in the same inning, including teams like the Yankees, Blue Jays, and Red Sox.
Mark Bellhorn of the Chicago Cubs in the fourth inning of a game on August 29, 2002 and Carlos Baerga of the Cleveland Indians in the seventh inning of a game on April 8, 1993 are the only two players that have hit home runs from both sides of the plate in the same inning.
Jeremy Burnitz and Richie Sexton of the Milwaukee Brewers against the Arizona Diamondbacks on September 25, 2001.
Never until those two combined had there been 2 players with at least 500 home runs to their credit on the same team at the same time.
Willie Mays Aikens of the Kansas City Royals did it in the 1980 World Series. Chase Utley of the Philadelphia Phillies duplicated the feat in the 2009 Series.
The 1961 Yankees - Roger Maris had 61 and Mickey Mantle had 54.
well they are about the same they always have concussions
No. As of 9-10-09, four Philadelphia Phillies players currently have 30 home runs or more. They are Ryan Howard with 38, Jason Werth with 33, Raul Ibanez with 30, and Chase Utley with 30. The 2009 Phillies join 11 other teams that have had four 30 home run hitters on the same 40 man roster. No team has ever had four 35+ home run hitters on one squad. Hitting 30 homers is hard enough for one man, let alone for 30% of an entire team.
Among the many Seattle Mariners - 1996, 1997(6 players), 1999 Baltimore Orioles - 1996 (7 players) White Sox - 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004 (6 players), 2006, 2007, 2008 (6 players) Cleveland - 1995, 1997, 1999, 2001 (6 players), 2005, 2007 Phillies - 2007 I am sure there are many more. This year's Yankees could end up with 8 guys or more (3 more players with 15 or more). Possibly 9 if Melky Cabrera goes on a Homerun hitting binge to end the season (he has 11.)
If the player keeps hitting 9 home runs in every 63 games he plays at the same rate he will hit 27 home runs that season.
'40-40 player' is a term used for someone that hits 40 (or more) doubles and 40 (or more) home runs in the same season.
