He broke Roger Maris’ single-season mark with 70 home runs in 1998 and followed up with 65 the next season. As with any list, you have to set arbitrary parameters. For this ranking, the parameters are set up with Stanton and Judge in mind, and what they could become if they stay healthy and productive together in the same lineup. So I only considered duos who played together for at least four seasons, and I only considered sluggers who topped the 40-homer mark at least once during their years together.
The Diamondbacks and Phillies hit 13 home runs at Citizens Bank Park on Monday. Arizona finished with eight home runs, the most the D-Backs have ever hit in a game while Philly finished with five of its own. Eddie Mathews, Hank Aaron, Joe Adcock and Frank Thomas homered in 7th inning vs. Reds.
Toronto Blue Jays
Giancarlo Stanton led baseball with 59 home runs last season. He never had a season with more than 47 home runs, and only six times in his 23-year career did he hit as many as 40 long balls, but he was highly consistent, averaging 32 per season. As Judge continues to chase those lofty totals, it's a good time to take a look back at the record he's chasing as well as other long-ball records throughout history.
The Twins are the only team to hit four straight home runs in an extra inning. That’s the record for most consecutive home runs by a team in an inning, and it’s been done eight times. That’s eight instances of back-to-back-to-back-to-back home runs. Mathews was a consistent power hitter for the Milwaukee Braves in the '50s and early '60s, hitting at least 30 home runs nine straight seasons. He led the league twice, with 47 in 1953 and 46 in '59, and was a 12-time All-Star.

A model of consistency, the Alabama native smacked at least 40 bombs in a season eight times, with a high of 47 in 1971. The controversial Bonds — who is not in the Hall of Fame — sits atop the list for most home runs in a career and most in a single season . The seven-time MVP is also the all-time leader in walks and led the league in on-base percentage 10 times. The Indians became the first American League team to hit four straight home runs in the second game of a 1963 doubleheader. After two quick outs, they hit four straight solo home runs off Paul Foytack to extend a 5-1 lead to 9-1.
Four home runs by an individual in one game
That suspicion was at its strongest in 2001 when, at 36, Bonds shattered the single-season home run record, crushing his 71st home run to surpass Mark McGwire's 70 from 1998. McGwire has admitted to using performance-enhancing drugs. You knew that the rising home run rates in baseball were going to lead to some funky records. And while you’re admiring all those dingers, please light a votive candle for Michael Blazek. The Yankees activated RHP Masahiro Tanaka off the paternity list, the team announced. LHP Nestor Cortes Jr. was sent to Triple-A in a corresponding move.
Woodie Held, Pedro Ramos, Tito Francona and Larry Brown homered in 6th inning of Game 2 vs. Angels. On that day, Milwaukee Braves Hall of Famers Eddie Mathews and Hank Aaron knocked Reds starter Jim Maloney out of the game with back-to-back long balls in the top of the seventh. Cincinnati reliever Marshall Bridges didn't fare any better, serving up home runs to Joe Adcock and Frank Thomas in consecutive at-bats.
Below are the 11 times in Major League history when four consecutive batters went deep. Kevin Youkilis and David Ortiz both flew out to start the inning, and the Red Sox had two outs just two batters into the bottom of the third against Chase Wright. Then Manny Ramirez hit one to deep left-center and the streak began.

Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth, Alex Rodriguez and Albert Pujols make up the top five on the career home run list, but none of them hit four in a game . How about the most 2 home run games during a MLB career?

Tony Oliva put them ahead with a solo home run off Dan Pfister, but the Twins weren’t done yet. Bob Allison and Jimmie Hall homered off Pfister too, before he was replaced by Vern Handrahan. Handrahan allowed the Twins’ fourth straight home run, to Harmon Killebrew.
Willie McCovey , Andre Dawson , and Alex Rodriguez are three of the only five players to hit two home runs in one inning on two separate occasions. A classic slugger who struck out a ton and never hit for a high average, Killebrew clubbed at least 40 home runs eight times during a 12-year stretch in the late 1950s/early '60s. No player hit more home runs in the 1960s than Killer’s 393. And now they’re batting in the same lineup, with the impending trade that sends Stanton, the reigning NL MVP, from the Marlins to the Yankees. Judge isn’t set to hit free agency until after the 2023 season and Stanton, as you know, is under contract through 2027 (though he has an opt-out after 2020). If he’s happy in NYC and Yankee Stadium, records could fall at a record rate.
