In Major League Baseball, the 700 home run club is an informal term applied to the group of players who have hit 700 or more career home runs. In general, the 700th home run is not a surprise, as the player has been approaching the mark for some time. However, teams will often interrupt the game in which the player hits his 700th home run in order to honor him on reaching a historically significant milestone in what has been an excellent baseball career. The 700 home run club was "founded" by Babe Ruth in 1934. At the time, he had more than twice as many home runs as any other player. The three players in the 700 home run club are (in order of arrival) Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron and Barry Bonds. Image File history File links Question_book-3. ... Major Leagues redirects here. ...
