Giants' Bochy among MLB home run leaders by country

Miguel Cabrera hit his 400th home run over the weekend, and that milestone was more than just another round number.

Cabrera also took over the career lead in major league home runs by players born in Venezuela, moving one ahead of Andres Galarraga. In fact, Cabrera has now hit more homers than any other native of South America.

The record holder among players born in Asia is Japan's Hideki Matsui, who hit 175. South Korea's Shin-soo Choo may be able to catch Matsui at some point. He's at 123.

As for players born in Europe, that's a trickier question.
