All-Time Leaders: Home Runs
It’s been a while since I ran a list of the all-time leaders in various categories, and with the blog coming online, I thought this would be a great time to do so! So without further ado, here are the top 10 home run hitters of the Illowa League, current and retired.
| Player * active |
Home Runs |
| Barry Bonds | 655 |
| Mark McGwire | 591 |
| Rafael Palmeiro | 573 |
| Ken Griffey. Jr.* | 571 |
| Mike Schmidt | 535 |
| Manny Ramirez* | 484 |
| Frank Thomas* | 473 |
| Alex Rodriguez* | 469 |

Are the active players home run totals through the end of last season?

Yes, they are as of the last History file that Mike sent out, so as of the end of the 2008 IAL season.

I see that Ken Griffey is the “non-steroid” career home run leader.
