Players with 40+ Home Run Seasons By Team (Immaculate Grid)
Part of today’s Immaculate Grid challenge is to come up with players with 40+ home run seasons for specific teams.
Since there is a good chance we’ll see this category in the future on the grid, I went ahead and put together a table of 40 home run seasons by team. My goal is to have at least 3 different players for each team so you always have options to play around with on the grid.
To put together this table I did the only logical thing I could think of. I started in 1993 and started charting the league leaders in home runs each year, because well – you know why.
You can use this as a ‘study sheet’ if you’re a purist or you can use it to help you if you get completely stuck on a box (some might call that cheating but we won’t tell).
NOTE: This Table is still a work in progress! I’ll continue to add to it over time, but you should have plenty to get you through today’s grid.

To use a player in a square, they must have hit 40 home runs in that particular team’s uniform.
You cannot just use any player that hit 40 home runs and pick any team they happened to play for.
