In the 117 years of the Boston Red Sox there have been a total of 18 40 home run seasons. The guys who have done it are mostly whom you’d expect. J.D. Martinez could very well become the next player to do so. After hitting 45 home runs with the Detroit Tigers and Arizona Diamondbacks last season, Martinez already has 20 in 59 games for the Red Sox. He is well on pace to hit 40, and maybe even 50. If he does get there, here’s the fraternity he will join.
