Most home runs at each active ballpark
With his three-run homer in the sixth inning Friday night, Twins outfielder Max Kepler forced a tie against the A's -- and broke another deadlock altogether. It was Kepler's 81st career home run at Target Field, surpassing Brian Dozier (80) for the most homers by any player at the Minneapolis venue.
Kepler took over the lead at Target Field a year after three National League sluggers set their respective ballpark records: Pete Alonso at Citi Field, Ronald Acuña Jr. at Truist Park and Manny Machado at Petco Park.
Here are the hitters who have gone deep the most times in AL/NL history in one ballpark.
Most home runs at a single ballpark
1. Mel Ott, Polo Grounds (New York): 323
2. Sammy Sosa, Wrigley Field: 293
3. Ernie Banks, Wrigley Field: 290
4. Mickey Mantle, Yankee Stadium: 266
5. Mike Schmidt, Veterans Stadium (Philadelphia): 265
6. Frank Thomas, Guaranteed Rate Field: 263
7-T. Paul Konerko, Guaranteed Rate Field: 259
7-T. Babe Ruth, Yankee Stadium, 259
9. Stan Musial, Busch Stadium, 252
10. Lou Gehrig, Yankee Stadium, 251
Four of those six stadiums -- including the old versions of Yankee Stadium and Busch Stadium -- are no longer in use. But all 30 active ballparks -- from Fenway Park (since 1912) to Globe Life Field (since 2020) -- have their own home run history.
Broken down by division, here¡¯s who leads each park in homers -- both overall (including home and away games) and just as a visitor.
American League East
Fenway Park (Red Sox): Ted Williams (248 HR)
Despite missing three full seasons and most of two more because of military service, Williams managed to hit 521 career home runs, nearly half of which came in Boston. He hit 14 homers at Fenway in his age-20 season (1939) and topped that with 15 in his age-41 year (1960).
As visitor: Babe Ruth/Mickey Mantle (38 HR each)
Oriole Park at Camden Yards: Adam Jones (146 HR)
Jones hit 14 or more homers at Camden Yards for seven straight seasons from 2011-2017. He finished with four more than Chris Davis¡¯ total of 142; Rafael Palmeiro had 124 homers at Camden, which opened in 1992, and Manny Machado has 100.
As visitor: Alex Rodriguez (34 HR)
Rogers Centre (Blue Jays): Carlos Delgado (175 HR)
Delgado had a remarkable run of 10 straight seasons with 30 or more homers, spending eight of those years with the Blue Jays. He hit a lot of those dingers at home, including a 2000 season in which he hit 30 of his 41 homers at Rogers Centre. Delgado is one of five players with 100 or more homers there.
As visitor: David Ortiz (41 HR)
Tropicana Field (Rays): Evan Longoria (129 HR)
Longoria¡¯s 129 homers at the Trop include his walk-off, three-run blast in Game 162 of the 2011 season to send the Rays to the playoffs. He hit 10 or more homers in St. Petersburg in nine of his 10 seasons with the Rays from 2008 to 2017.
As visitor: David Ortiz (35 HR)
Yankee Stadium: Aaron Judge (144 HR)
Judge leads the way at the current version of Yankee Stadium, which opened in 2009. An American League-record 62-homer 2022 campaign with 30 homers in the Bronx catapulted Judge past Mark Teixeira (113 HR), although Judge hit 33 of his 52 homers at home in his rookie season of 2017.
As visitor: Jos¨¦ Bautista (19 HR)
AL Central
Comerica Park (Tigers): Miguel Cabrera (191 HR)
Cabrera is far and away the leader for homers at Comerica Park, which opened in 2000. He¡¯s more than 100 above second-place Brandon Inge (76) thanks to 13 seasons of 10 or more homers in Detroit. Cabrera hit 20 homers at Comerica in 2016 and a career-best 28 there in 2012, his Triple Crown season.
As visitor: David Ortiz (23 HR)
Guaranteed Rate Field (White Sox): Frank Thomas (263 HR)
Thomas was known for hitting at home, producing just under 60 percent of his 521 career homers in home games. In 15 years calling Guaranteed Rate Field home, Thomas hit 22 or more long balls at home in a season six different times. He topped out at 30 homers in Chicago (out of 43 overall) in 2003.
As visitor: Miguel Cabrera (25 HR)
Cabrera actually hit 26 home runs at Guaranteed Rate Field, but one was for the home team despite never playing for the White Sox. On Sept. 14, 2004, with the Marlins, he homered against the Expos in a game moved from Miami to Chicago because of Hurricane Ivan. The Marlins were the home team.
Kauffman Stadium (Royals): George Brett (136 HR)
Brett debuted in 1973, the same year "The K" opened its doors. He never hit more than 30 homers in a season nor more than 15 in K.C., but consistent production over a 21-year career put him atop the Royals¡¯ list. Salvador Perez topped 100 homers at Kauffman in May 2023, and Mike Sweeney is right at the century mark.
As visitor: Juan Gonzalez (22 HR)
Progressive Field (Guardians): Jim Thome (190 HR)
Thome -- who ranks eighth all time with 612 career home runs -- hit quite a few of them at Progressive Field. He had seven years of 17 or more homers in Cleveland alone, including 30 each in 2001 and 2002. Manny Ramirez (132 HR) is second on the list.
As visitor: Miguel Cabrera (26 HR)
Target Field (Twins): Max Kepler (81 HR)
Kepler's third 2024 homer at Target Field passed Dozier for the most in the history of the ballpark, which opened in 2010. The native of Germany topped out at 17 homers in Minnesota in 2019, reaching double digits in 2018 (12), 2021 (11) and 2023 (12) as well. Miguel Sanó sits five homers behind Kepler at 76, but with San¨® now on the Angels, Kepler should hold the record for a while.
As visitor: Salvador Perez (22 HR)
AL West
Angel Stadium: Mike Trout (190 HR)
Prior to 2024, Trout hit double-digit homers at Angel Stadium in every season but three: 2011 (his debut year), 2021 and 2023, with injuries limiting him to 118 total games between the latter two years. Tim Salmon is second on the Angels¡¯ list with 160 home runs at Angel Stadium, which opened in 1966.
As visitor: Alex Rodriguez (38 HR)
Globe Life Field (Rangers): Adolis García (67 HR)
Garc¨ªa leads the way at the Rangers¡¯ new ballpark, which opened in 2020. Corey Seager (51 HR), Marcus Semien (38 HR), Nathaniel Lowe (31 HR) and Jonah Heim (30 HR) are also in the conversation. At the Rangers¡¯ prior home, open from 1994 to 2019, Rafael Palmeiro is first with 130 homers.
As visitor: Jose Altuve (10 HR)
Minute Maid Park (Astros): Lance Berkman (157 HR)
Berkman¡¯s 157 homers at Minute Maid Park weren¡¯t all with the Astros -- five came with the Cardinals in 2011 and one more with the Rangers two years later. He hit 20 homers at Minute Maid in 2000 and 24 in 2006. In 2024, Jose Altuve broke a tie with Jeff Bagwell for second place.
As visitor: Albert Pujols (35 HR)
Oakland Coliseum (Athletics): Mark McGwire (166 HR)
Plenty of homers have been hit at the Coliseum since the A¡¯s opened play there in 1968. Reggie Jackson (146 HR), Jose Canseco (122 HR), Eric Chavez (115 HR) and Jason Giambi (115 HR) have all topped 100. But McGwire hit 12 or more homers in Oakland in nine different seasons, including 24 in 1992 and 1996.
As visitor: Mike Trout/Alex Rodriguez (21 HR each)
T-Mobile Park (Mariners): Kyle Seager (94 HR)
Seager spent all of his 11-year career in Seattle and hit 20-plus homers for the Mariners in eight straight years. A 35-homer final season in 2021 featured 13 homers in Seattle, putting Seager above Nelson Cruz (84 HR) for the lead at T-Mobile Park.
As visitor: Mike Trout (33 HR)
National League East
Citi Field (Mets): Pete Alonso (93 HR)
Alonso hit an astounding 27 home runs at Citi Field in his historic rookie season in 2019 and has continued to mash long balls in the confines of his home ballpark, which opened in 2009. He broke a tie with former Mets slugger Lucas Duda for the ballpark record when he hit his 72nd homer at Citi Field on June 4, 2023, and Alonso hit 13 more homers there before the season was done.
As visitor: Giancarlo Stanton (24 HR)
Citizens Bank Park (Phillies): Ryan Howard (198 HR)
Howard¡¯s prodigious power gave him an average of 24 home runs in Philadelphia alone over a tremendous four-year stretch from 2006 to ¡¯09. From 2005 to 2016, he hit double-digit homers at Citizens Bank Park -- which opened in 2004 -- in every year but one: 2013, when he hit nine.
As visitor: David Wright (22 HR)
loanDepot Park (Marlins): Giancarlo Stanton (112 HR)
Stanton crushed over 100 homers at loanDepot park in Miami -- which opened in 2012 -- in just six years, with 13 or more long balls in his home stadium each season. He topped out at 31 homers in home games in his final season with the Marlins in 2017, part of an MLB-leading 59-homer season.
As visitor: Freddie Freeman (17 HR)
Nationals Park: Ryan Zimmerman (116 HR)
After three seasons at RFK Stadium, the Nats moved to their new park in 2008. Across 14 seasons, Zimmerman topped 100 homers in his home ballpark, including seasons of 16, 17 and 19 long balls hit at home. Bryce Harper is the only other player to reach that milestone, hitting 100 homers exactly at Nationals Park -- six of them with the Phillies.
As visitor: Giancarlo Stanton (22 HR)
Truist Park (Braves): Ronald Acu?a Jr. (86 HR)
Acu?a hit double-digit homers at Truist in 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2022, with his 18 long balls in 2019 fourth most in a year at the ballpark. After a slow start in 2023 in terms of homers in Atlanta, Acu?a hit three in two days to double his season total. His June 27 leadoff homer against the Twins tied Freddie Freeman for the record, and Acu?a quickly passed Freeman with a solo shot in the second inning. Acu?a finished his MVP season with 41 home runs, 20 of which came at Truist.
As visitor: Bryce Harper (15 HR)
NL Central
American Family Field (Brewers): Ryan Braun (173 HR)
Braun averaged more than 33 home runs per year in his first six seasons, which included five All-Star nods, a Rookie of the Year Award and 2011 NL MVP honors. In 2011, 24 of Braun¡¯s career-high 41 homers came at American Family Field, which opened in 2001.
As visitor: Joey Votto (24 HR)
Busch Stadium (Cardinals): Albert Pujols (122 HR)
Pujols leads the way in homers at the current version of Busch Stadium, which opened in 2006. After 94 homers in five years at the old Busch, Pujols hit 110 in six seasons at the new park -- then added 10 more for good measure during his return to St. Louis in 2022 for his final season. He hit the other two with the Angels and Dodgers.
As visitor: Joey Votto (16 HR)
Great American Ball Park (Reds): Joey Votto (197 HR)
Votto has had 11 seasons of 10 or more homers at hitter-friendly Great American Ball Park, which opened in 2003. Jay Bruce (137), Adam Dunn (126) and Brandon Phillips (113) have hit more than 100 in Cincinnati, but Votto tops the list.
As visitor: Ryan Braun (28 HR)
PNC Park (Pirates): Andrew McCutchen (102 HR)
McCutchen, who made his return to the Pirates in 2023, is still adding to his lead at PNC Park. Pedro Alvarez is second on the list with 62 homers at the stadium, which opened in 2001. Cutch hit eight or more homers at PNC Park every year during his first stint with the Pirates, a nine-year stretch that included the 2013 NL MVP Award.
As visitor: Albert Pujols (35 HR)
Wrigley Field (Cubs): Sammy Sosa (293 HR)
A history dating all the way back to 1914 means a lot of home runs over the years at Wrigley. Sosa averaged more than 22 homers a year in the Friendly Confines, including 35 in 1998 and 34 in 2001 -- single-season totals unmatched by any other hitter at Wrigley. Ernie Banks (290 HR) is just behind Sosa.
As visitor: Willie Mays (54 HR)
NL West
Chase Field (D-backs): Paul Goldschmidt (105 HR)
It took Goldschmidt just eight seasons to set the record for homers at Chase Field. He hit 10 or more homers in his home ballpark every year from 2012-2018, including 20 bombs in Phoenix in 2017. Goldschmidt passed 2001 World Series hero Luis Gonzalez (95 HR) in his final year with the D-backs.
As visitor: Adri¨¢n Gonz¨¢lez (21 HR)
Coors Field (Rockies): Todd Helton (227 HR)
Eight players have hit 100 or more home runs at Coors Field since it opened in 1995. Helton is the only one to top 200, thanks to a six-season stretch when he tallied more than 30 homers each year. In four of those years, he hit 23 or more long balls at his high-altitude home park.
As visitor: Barry Bonds (26 HR)
Dodger Stadium: Eric Karros (130 HR)
Dozens of standout hitters have called Dodger Stadium home since its 1962 opening, but Karros tops the list. Six seasons with 13 or more homers in Los Angeles put him above Ron Cey (123 HR at Dodger Stadium), Steve Garvey (118 HR), Matt Kemp (117 HR) and others.
As visitor: Barry Bonds (29 HR)
Oracle Park (Giants): Barry Bonds (160 HR)
It¡¯s only fitting that the all-time AL/NL home run leader would sit atop the list at his longtime home ballpark. Oracle Park didn¡¯t open until 2000, but Bonds did sufficient damage there in seven seasons, including 37 of his single-season record 73 homers in 2001.
As visitor: Paul Goldschmidt (15 HR)
Petco Park: Manny Machado (78 HR)
For over a decade, the top spot on this list belonged to Adri¨¢n Gonz¨¢lez, who crushed home runs with regularity with the Padres from 2006-10. In 2023, Machado tied Gonz¨¢lez's previous record (65) with a home run on June 15 and broke it on July 5 when he hit a go-ahead home run against the Angels.
As visitor: Nolan Arenado (15 HR)
