Bombs Away! Meet the All-Time Home Run King for Every MLB Team
Let's talk dingers. There's no louder statement in baseball than launching a baseball into orbit, and every franchise has one slugger who did it better than anyone else in team history. These are the all-time home run kings — the baddest boppers to ever wear each uniform.
No one has ever owned a franchise's home run record quite like Hank Aaron, whose 733 bombs with the Braves remain the most ever hit for a single club. That's not just a record. That's a dynasty.
Now, in Kansas City, the crown has officially changed hands. Salvador Perez has passed George Brett as the Royals' all-time home run leader, adding another chapter to a legendary career. And he's not done yet.
