Houston Astros’ fans, April marks the 46th anniversary of Henry “Hank” Aaron slugging his 715th career home run to pass Babe Ruth—a play forever linked to the voice of late Astros Hall-of-Fame broadcasting legend, Milo Hamilton.
Aaron left the majors as the most accomplished home run hitter in history, only to become second all-time to Barry Bonds in 2007.
“Hammerin’ Hank” finished his 23-year career with a ridiculously impressive 755 homers. Meanwhile, the Astros have yet to field a member of the 500 home run club. Nonetheless, the rankings below represent the top five players in franchise history in terms of home run production while they played for the Astros.
