8/19/2024 - Pujols hits 800th homer
![]() For years home run hitters have been coming along and setting the bar higher and higher since the days of Babe Ruth. Previously impossible feats became more and more possible every passing year, from 200 to 300 to 400 to 500 to 600 career home runs. Albert Pujols just continues to raise the bar, first reaching 700 home runs back in 2019, and tonight reaching career home run number 800. Second place still belong to Mark McGwire and his 672 career home runs. Pujols no longer has the bat speed he once did, and home runs certainly don't come as frequent for the 44 year older, but when he decided to sign with the Texas Rangers during the offseason he did so with a purpose, to reach 800 career home runs. Sure he doesn't play as many games anymore, or hit as many home runs, and of course isn't quite the player he once was, but he has been far from a disappointment for Texas. Pujols is hitting over .300 for the Rangers, and is one of the team's best hitters off the bench. "I'm not capable of starting every game anymore, but I feel like I can still contribute. I love the game of baseball and being on the field. I don't know if I'll be back again for 2025, but I'm leaning towards yes. I won't embarrass myself out there, and if it comes to that I know it is time to hang it up, but I'm still having fun, and what more could you ask for?" 4000+ hits, 800+ home runs, 2600+ Rbi, and 2600+ runs. Best ever? Most definitely.

2024 - Davis, Votto, and Loney retire
Three more members of the 400 home run club retired, leaving just four members still playing, including Albert Pujols. Hanley Ramirez is the other active player we are tracking who hasn't reach 400 homers, but he is a long shot to reach 400. I'm thinking we'll be done soon, but I thought that a few seasons ago.
Chris Davis retired with 502 home runs, Joey Votto retired with 414 career home runs, and James Loney retired with 413 career home runs. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chasing Albert Pujols - the race to the all-time home run king Albert Pujols - 800 - 44 years old Ryan Braun - 497 - 40 years old B.J.

2025 - And we're done…...
That went a little bit longer than I expected, and 1920-2025 was a long stretch. I'll do a couple more wrap-up posts, but first the 2025 wrap-up.
Albert Pujols retired from baseball with 803 career home runs. A couple of other amazing feats for "Prince Albert" or "King Albert" is probably more appropriate. A no doubt Hall of Famer who finished with 4858 career hits, 803 career home runs, 2699 career RBI, and 2677 career runs. His ranking in each of those categories - 1. 952 career doubles is also tops, as well as 3794 games, and 14,707 at-bats. He dominated like no one else during my replay. His ranking for hits, home runs, RBI, doubles, and runs would put him in first place on the all-time list. Since he is still playing today, who knows where Pujols will end up, but if he can play to 2025 in real life and plays as well as he does today, watch out. Ryan Braun retired with 497 career home runs, just 3 away from that magic 500 number. Evan Longoria retired with 454 career home runs, and BJ Upton retired with 458 career home runs. There isn't much to compare to, since they all are still pretty young in 2009. Back in a bit with the wrap-up. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Career Home Run Leaders 1) Albert Pujols - 803 (2001-2025) 2) Mark McGwire - 672 (1986-2001) 3) Scott Rolen - 633 (1996-2015) 4) Ron Santo - 624 (1960-1981) 5) Ted Williams - 618 (1939-1961) 6) David Ortiz - 583 (1997-2015) 7) Ryan Howard - 575 (2004-2018) 8) Willie McCovey - 572 (1959-1976) 9) Howard Johnson - 569 (1982-1999) 10) Carlos Pena - 560 (2001-2016) 11) Fred McGriff - 556 (1986-2003) 12) Frank Robinson - 543 (1956-1974) 13) Larry Sheets - 543 (1984-2001) 14) Jimmy Foxx - 537 (1926-1948) 15) Dwight Evans - 533 (1972-1995) 16) Will Clark - 530 (1986-2004) 17) Larry Walker - 523 (1989-2011) 18) Jermaine Dye - 516 (1996-2012) 19) Troy Glaus - 515 (1998-2014) 20) Ted Kluszewski - 514 (1947-1960) 21) Chris Davis - 502 (2008-2024) 22) Chris Duncan - 502 (2005-2022) 23) Eric Chavez - 500 (1998-2015) 24) Babe Ruth - 500 (1914-1931) 25) Bob Allison - 498 (1958-1976) 26) Ryan Braun - 497 (2007-2025) 27) Carlos Delgado - 494 (1993-2010) 28) Andres Galarraga - 488 (1985-2003) 29) Mike Piazza - 487 (1992-2009) 30) Lou Gehrig - 482 (1924-1942) 31) Barry Bonds - 481 (1986-2005) 32) Mike Schmidt - 480 (1972-1990) 33) Matt Williams - 480 (1987-2002) 34) Phil Clark - 469 (1992-2006) 35) Dave Duncan - 461 (1966-1980) 36) BJ Upton - 458 (2004-2025) 37) Evan Longoria - 454 (2008-2025) 38) Derrek Lee - 449 (1997-2014) 39) Geoff Jenkins - 444 (1998-2011) 40) Manny Ramirez - 444 (1993-2011) 41) Steve Kemp - 443 (1977-1997) 42) Liu Rodriguez - 442 (1999-2017) 43) Dick Allen - 440 (1963-1983) 44) Chuck Klein - 438 (1928-1944) 45) Roy Campanella - 438 (1948-1961) 46) Juan Rivera - 436 (2001-2018) 47) Don Mincher - 433 (1960-1978) 48) Bill Dickey - 432 (1928-1948) 49) Matt Kemp - 432 (2006-2022) 50) Hal Trosky - 432 (1933-1953) 51) Pedro Castellano - 431 (1993-2010) 52) Price Fielder - 429 (2005-2019) 53) Willie Stargell - 429 (1962-1978) 54) Nick Johnson - 427 (2001-2017) 55) Alex Rodriguez - 424 (1994-2015) 56) Justin Morneau - 423 (2003-2020) 57) Bob Horner - 422 (1978-1992) 58) Gary Carter - 420 (1974-1991) 59) Travis Hafner - 416 (2002-2015) 60) Joey Votto - 414 (2007-2024) 61) James Loney - 413 (2006-2024) 62) Jason Giambi - 411 (1995-2012) 63) Duke Snider - 411 (1947-1963) 64) Johnny Mize - 410 (1936-1953) 65) Mo Vaughn - 406 (1991-2006) 66) Jose Canseco - 405 (1985-2000) 67) Adam LaRoche - 405 (2004-2017) 68) Todd Hundley - 404 (1990-2007) 69) Eddie Murray - 403 (1977-1989)

Single Season Leaders
All Players
1) Babe Ruth - NYY - 82 (1921) - best season 60 2) Ryan Howard - PHI - 70 (2007) - * best season 58 3) Prince Fielder - MIL - 69 (2008) - * best season 50 4) Jim Gentile - LAD - 65 (1961) - best season 46 5) Carlos Pena - TEX - 65 (2003) - *best season 46 6) Bill Nicholson - PHA - 62 (1940) - best season 33 7) Ryan Howard - CHA - 62 (2011) - * best season 58 8) Jermaine Dye - TEX - 61 (2006) - * best season 44 9) J.R. Phillips - PHI - 59 (1997) - best season 9 10) Howard Johnson - DET - 58 (1989) - best season 38 11) Mark McGwire - LAD - 58 (1998) - best season 70 Babe Ruth put up huge numbers in just my second season doing this, and quite frankly I was a little worried something was out of whack. For the most part the biggest anomaly is J.R. Phillies who had a season 50 better than he did in real-life. A quick peak at the real life leaders and we'll find 2 over 70 (check), 8 over 60 (check), one 59 (check), and four 58's (I only had two). So the players are different, but the numbers in total look pretty good, except Ruth's was a little bit high. The Rookies 1) Nick Johnson - NYY - 57 (2001) 2) Carlos Pena - TEX - 54 (2001) 3) Rafael Palmeiro - CHN - 52 (1986) 4) Larry Sheets - BAL - 51 (1984) 5) Todd Helton - COL - 51 (1997) 6) Chuck Klein - PHI - 47 (1928) 7) Mark McGwire - OAK - 47 (1986) 8) Bob Hamelin - KC - 47 (1993) 9) Albert Pujols - STL - 47 (2001) 10) Ryan Howard - PHI - 45 (2004) 11) Chris Duncan - STL - 45 (2005) McGwire holds the real record with 49, so it looks like my rookies fared quite a bit better. Nick Johnson's difference was 57 compared to 15. Single Season Team Home Run Leaders 1) Texas Rangers - 281 (2004) 2) Philadelphia Phillies - 280 (2005) 3) Texas Rangers - 279 (2006) 4) Texas Rangers - 267 (2003) 5) Texas Rangers - 264 (2002) 6) Chicago White Sox - 260 (2003) 7) Oakland Athletics - 259 (2004) 8) Philadelphia Phillies - 257 (2004) 9) Detroit Tigers - 249 (1995) 10) Chicago White Sox - 248 (2005) The Rangers are all over the record books with 4 of the best 10 seasons, with the White Sox and Phillies having two apiece. The best by a team in real life, 264, so we had four teams beat it and one tie it. Who was on the Texas Rangers team that made it so special? Carlos Pena (54), Mark Texeira (43), Hank Blalock (34), Jay Gibbons (31), and Ivan Rodriguez (22) led the way.

Career Leaders
One final time I'll post the career home run leaders. Once again Pujols dominated, followed by McGwire, Rolen, Santo, and Ted Williams. 3 have 700 in real life, and I've got 1. 6 guys have 600 in real life, I've got 5. 25 guys in real life hit 500, and I had 24. 44 in real life currently have 400, and I've got 69. Of course baseball has 15 years to catch up to me, even though they are already ahead at the 500 level.
From the looks of it, more guys hit 400 for me, and only one or two guys had the big careers. I think turning off recalc and talent change randomness have something to do with it, but here they are one more time: Career Home Run Leaders 1) Albert Pujols - 803 (2001-2025) 2) Mark McGwire - 672 (1986-2001) 3) Scott Rolen - 633 (1996-2015) 4) Ron Santo - 624 (1960-1981) 5) Ted Williams - 618 (1939-1961) 6) David Ortiz - 583 (1997-2015) 7) Ryan Howard - 575 (2004-2018) 8) Willie McCovey - 572 (1959-1976) 9) Howard Johnson - 569 (1982-1999) 10) Carlos Pena - 560 (2001-2016) 11) Fred McGriff - 556 (1986-2003) 12) Frank Robinson - 543 (1956-1974) 13) Larry Sheets - 543 (1984-2001) 14) Jimmy Foxx - 537 (1926-1948) 15) Dwight Evans - 533 (1972-1995) 16) Will Clark - 530 (1986-2004) 17) Larry Walker - 523 (1989-2011) 18) Jermaine Dye - 516 (1996-2012) 19) Troy Glaus - 515 (1998-2014) 20) Ted Kluszewski - 514 (1947-1960) 21) Chris Davis - 502 (2008-2024) 22) Chris Duncan - 502 (2005-2022) 23) Eric Chavez - 500 (1998-2015) 24) Babe Ruth - 500 (1914-1931) 25) Bob Allison - 498 (1958-1976) 26) Ryan Braun - 497 (2007-2025) 27) Carlos Delgado - 494 (1993-2010) 28) Andres Galarraga - 488 (1985-2003) 29) Mike Piazza - 487 (1992-2009) 30) Lou Gehrig - 482 (1924-1942) 31) Barry Bonds - 481 (1986-2005) 32) Mike Schmidt - 480 (1972-1990) 33) Matt Williams - 480 (1987-2002) 34) Phil Clark - 469 (1992-2006) 35) Dave Duncan - 461 (1966-1980) 36) BJ Upton - 458 (2004-2025) 37) Evan Longoria - 454 (2008-2025) 38) Derrick Lee - 449 (1997-2014) 39) Geoff Jenkins - 444 (1998-2011) 40) Manny Ramirez - 444 (1993-2011) 41) Steve Kemp - 443 (1977-1997) 42) Liu Rodriguez - 442 (1999-2017) 43) Dick Allen - 440 (1963-1983) 44) Chuck Klein - 438 (1928-1944) 45) Roy Campanella - 438 (1948-1961) 46) Juan Rivera - 436 (2001-2018) 47) Don Mincher - 433 (1960-1978) 48) Bill Dickey - 432 (1928-1948) 49) Matt Kemp - 432 (2006-2022) 50) Hal Trosky - 432 (1933-1953) 51) Pedro Castellano - 431 (1993-2010) 52) Price Fielder - 429 (2005-2019) 53) Willie Stargell - 429 (1962-1978) 54) Nick Johnson - 427 (2001-2017) 55) Alex Rodriguez - 424 (1994-2015) 56) Justin Morneau - 423 (2003-2020) 57) Bob Horner - 422 (1978-1992) 58) Gary Carter - 420 (1974-1991) 59) Travis Hafner - 416 (2002-2015) 60) Joey Votto - 414 (2007-2024) 61) James Loney - 413 (2006-2024) 62) Jason Giambi - 411 (1995-2012) 63) Duke Snider - 411 (1947-1963) 64) Johnny Mize - 410 (1936-1953) 65) Mo Vaughn - 406 (1991-2006) 66) Jose Canseco - 405 (1985-2000) 67) Adam LaRoche - 405 (2004-2017) 68) Todd Hundley - 404 (1990-2007) 69) Eddie Murray - 403 (1977-1989)

It’s a Wrap
This was supposed to be one of those quick ideas that seemed to take up quite a bit more time than I thought it would, but not in a bad way. I had fun with it, so that is all that matters I guess, and hopefully some of you enjoyed reading it.
Thanks to everyone who followed along. Before I archive off the league file to a hard drive, I figured I'd take a quick look and point out anything that looks interested. • The longest hit streak was 50 games by Roy Campanella in 1955 • Sammy Sosa hit a home run in 12 straight games during 1999 • There were only 3 players that hit 4 home runs in a game: ○ Ryan Braun (2007) ○ Tony Batista (5/8/2005) I just point out the date because on 5/7/2005 he hit 3 in a game, not a bad two game stretch ○ Carl Furillo (1949) • Ed Correa struck out over 15 batters in a game 7 times, including 18(the highest ever) • Cliff Melton threw 2 no hitters • Babe Ruth won 4 triple crowns (1920, 1921, 1923, 1925) and Johnny Mize won 3 (1938, 1941, 1942) • Jim Nash won 353 games from 1966-1986 • The Kansas City/Oakland A's won 5 straight titles from 1967-1971 • The Diamondbacks, Rockies, Royals, Angels, Padres, and Blue Jays never won championships • The A's won 21 and appeared in 46 World Series, followed by the Cardinals 18 and 42 • And last, but not least, the Cubs appeared in 9 World Series since they last won their World Series title, in 1935

A great job on this. This has been one of the most enjoyable dynasty reports I can recall. you took a relatively simple premise and executed it perfectly. Thank you for sticking through with it until the end, especially as Pujols dragged it on a bit longer than you expected. The ending was certainly worth it, though!
Thanks again for your time and energy and I very much look forward to your next effort! |

I did have a lot of fun with this, so hopefully it showed. I was also pretty happy with the end results too. It did take a little bit longer than expected, but it really was a lot of fun. ![]() Thank you very much!

Great, great job on this, I really enjoyed myself while reading through it. As for the final tally, how bout the Cardinals!(R/L) getting big representation, with the #1-2 and 3 all time home run kings.

I didn't even notice that in regards to the Cardinals. For that matter, the NL as a whole really dominated the top of the leaderboards, with the top 4, and 7 out of 10. Without the DH you'd think it would be the other way around.

Just spent part of my morning reading this. Nice concept. I was glad to see Pujols pass McGwire. What a career for Albert.

This one was definitely a lot of fun to do. I just opened up the league file a couple of weeks ago and was looking at it. Pujols definitely was a beast, and I was very glad he passed McGwire as well.

Really, really enjoyed this one. Sorry to see a lot of my favorites not fare as well as I would have liked, but overall, a very entertaining read. I knew when Ruth hit 82 in 21 that NO ONE would surpass the Bambino's single season record.

Its always cool to hear people enjoyed this. I did have a lot of fun with it. It is hard to believe Ruth did hit 82, that would be a very hard record to break. I had a lot of my favorites that didn't fare too well either so I can relate. Maybe some day I'll do a sequel and tried to remedy that.

Funny seeing Ed Correa on the list at the end with 15+ strikeouts.
I just read through this entire thread and loved it. I'll follow your new 300/500/3000 thread now. |
