The '50-home-run MLB seasons' quiz

Happy 46th birthday to three-time MLB All-Star, 2005 National League Rookie of the Year, 2008 N.L. MVP and World Series champion with the Philadelphia Phillies, Ryan Howard!

Howard played in 13 Major League seasons, making his debut in 2004. By 2006 he was one of the most feared power-hitters in baseball, launching 58 home runs and driving in 149 runs to lead MLB in both categories. That 58-home-run campaign was the first of four-consecutive seasons with at least 40 dingers. In 2008 he once again led MLB in HRs (48) and RBIs (146) en route to the Phillies most recent World Series championship. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. There have been 34 players in MLB history to hit at least 50 home runs in one season. How many of those players can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
