One of the easiest jobs in the world is being a meteorologist in San Diego. Today it’s 70 degrees and sunny … tomorrow it’s 70 degrees and sunny … the following day it will be 70 degrees and sunny. In that ideal climate is where the San Diego Padres play. First the Fathers inhabited Jack Murphy Stadium from 1969 to 2003, and they have been at beautiful Petco Park since 2004. It took them 14 years just to have a .500 season, and they have no World Series titles. However, San Diego has won two National League pennants (1984 & 1998), and they have been relevant contenders in the NL for the last few years. It’s not easy being in a division with the mighty Dodgers and the pesky Giants. The Padres have had some legendary players over the last 50+ years, more than just franchise-treasure Tony Gwynn. Now it’s time to visit maybe the most picturesque place in America and reel off the all-time leaders in home runs for the San Diego Padres.

Since the Cubs finally captured that long-awaited World Series title in 2016, the Cleveland Guardians and their fans may get the honor of being MLB’s most tormented franchise. Heck, the classic movie Major League has satirized this misfortune. Known as the Indians through 2021, this team hasn’t won a World Series since 1948. But it’s not for a lack of trying. They lost the 1954 Fall Classic, and they didn’t return to the postseason until 1995. That started a run of five consecutive playoff appearances all ending in heartbreak, including the 1997 World Series when they had a lead going into the 9th inning of Game 7. Then in 2016, against the Cubbies, the Tribe blew a 3-1 World Series lead and lost Game 7 at home in extra innings. There are other painful tales I could recite, but I’ll spare Cleveland fans. The good news is that the Guardians have been a regular October player the last decade, so they have a chance of obtaining baseball’s ultimate glory soon … hopefully. Well, a major reason this fanbase feels so tortured is because Cleveland has had so many great players. No more rambling … let’s reveal the all-time leaders in home runs for the Cleveland Guardians.

After one year as the Seattle Pilots, the Milwaukee Brewers became Wisconsin’s baseball team in 1970. To date, the Brewers have captured only one pennant … in 1982 when they lost a gut-wrenching seven-game World Series to the St. Louis Cardinals. Originally members of the American League, this franchise has resided in the NL Central since 1998. Although they are a small-market team, since 2008 the Brew Crew has made nine playoff appearances and had seven 90-win seasons. They have proven they can slug with the big boys of MLB. Speaking of slugging, Milwaukee has had their fair share of potent bats. From the days of County Stadium to hitter-friendly Miller Park, it’s time to recount the all-time leaders in home runs for the Milwaukee Brewers. Grab a beer and a brat!

The Arizona Diamondbacks and the Tampa Bay Rays are the youngest franchises in Major League Baseball. Beginning play in 1998, the Diamondbacks amazingly won a World Series title in just their fourth year of existence (the second fastest in American professional sports). We all remember that epic seven-game 2001 Fall Classic against the New York Yankees only weeks after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. That championship is the crowning moment in D-Backs history so far, but in only 28 seasons they do have seven playoff appearances and two NL pennants. Keep in mind that they play in the National League West … historically one of the toughest divisions with some of the deepest pockets. With a talented young nucleus and not far removed from a World Series appearance, Arizona’s future looks bright. But now it’s time to look to their past (and present as you’ll notice by one name). Let’s head out to the desert and unveil the all-time leaders in home runs for the Arizona Diamondbacks.
