MLB Active Career HR Leaders (Live)
DirectionsName the 100 active players with the most home runs. Total home runs and team with whom they’ve hit the most home runs (along with % of career HR’s hit for that team) shown. Retired players will not update during the offseason, so a player may be in this list who recently retired.
This quiz is LIVE and is updated weekly – active players mean active according to baseball-reference.com which can mean occasionally recently retired players are still active until the source adjusts them.
Teams attached to players names are severely outdated.
it’s the team they’ve hit the most for per the directions, not necessarily their most recent team
Would it be possible to create a quiz with this same goal, but for a year of our choosing (EX: the top 100 active home run leaders in 1997)?
would be tough…the issue is you could have a guy leading after 1970 but he didn’t play in 1970 and maybe was hurt and still active so I’d have to check any guys at the end of each season who didn’t get a HR that season. Tough to determine who was actually active at the very end date of each season.
as the total # of points changes for this quiz (and may go down over time), I’m changing it to the top 100 and counting based on players answered instead of points. have to reset high scores too.
I preferred it the other way…
Brian Dozier retired last month.
the Active status is taken from baseball reference. hopefully their status will catch up soon and he won’t be on the quiz for long. can’t manually remove him as it’s a live quiz.
He isn’t the only one. There’s at least one other who is officially retired, five who are unsigned free agents, and two who are playing overseas.
by Active i think the source (baseball reference) means they are playing, so that will include unsigned players and overseas players. hopefully their site will remove the retired players from their Active list before long so they disappear from this quiz.
