List of Major League Baseball career home run leaders
List of MLB baseball players who have hit the most career home runs
This is a list of the 300 Major League Baseball players who have hit the most career home runs in regular season play (i.e., excluding playoffs or exhibition games).
In the sport of baseball, a home run is a hit in which the batter scores by circling all the bases and reaching home plate in one play, without the benefit of a fielding error. This can be accomplished either by hitting the ball out of play while it is still in fair territory (a conventional home run) or by an inside-the-park home run.
^While Bonds holds the MLB career home run record, the world career home run record is held by Sadaharu Oh (868); Oh played his whole career in Nippon Professional Baseball in Japan.
^A player is considered inactive if he has announced his retirement or has not played for a full season.
