The 'MLB franchise home run leaders' quiz

Created on August 13, 2025 | Total tries: 32851 | Average Score: 24.3 out of 30 (81%) | Quiz FAQ

For the past three and a half decades, Darryl Strawberry held the New York Mets' home run record.

That ended on Tuesday night, as Pete Alonso mashed two homers to bring his career total up to 254 and break Strawberry’s record of 252. The record-breaker was a line drive two-run shot that came in the bottom of the third inning against Atlanta’s Spencer Strider.

It also almost never happened.

Alonso was a free agent until Feb. 12, and there was uncertainty about whether he’d return to Queens as a Met at all before he signed a two-year, $54 million deal with a player option for 2026.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Alonso now has 254 home runs, 682 RBI and 900 career hits. With that being said, how many of the MLB franchise record holders for career home runs can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
