Inside-the-park home run\nIn almost all cases nowadays, a home run involves hitting the ball over the outfield fence in fair territory. Very rarely, a batter can hit the ball in play and circle all the bases before the fielders can throw him out; this is called an inside-the-park home run, and typically requires that the batter be a quick runner, and that either the fielder misplay the ball in some way or that the ball is made difficult to play by caroming in unexpected ways, or by becoming difficult for a fielder to reach due to structural variances and peculiarities of different ballparks. If the misplay is labeled an error by the official scorer, however, the batter is not credited with a home run.\n\nIn baseball parlance, an inside-the-park home run is a play where a hitter scores a home run without hitting the ball out of play. Inside-the-park home runs are rare events, generally occurring only a handful of times during any given season. The play requires both a fast base runner and often some sort of fielding mishap by the defense, or a strange bounce in the outfield. If the fielder commits an error during the act, however, the play is not scored as a home run, but rather advancing on an error.\n\nAn inside-the-park grand slam is the same event but, like a grand slam, features the bases loaded for an inside-the-park home run. There have only been 40 inside-the-park grand slams in Major League Baseball since 1950 and only eight since 1990 (as of 2002). Honus Wagner had the most in MLB history with five.\n\nOf the 154,483 home runs hit from 1951 - 2000, 975 (about one in every 158) were inside the park. The percentage has dwindled over the years with the growing propensity of smaller parks.\n\nThe record for most inside-the-park home runs for a single season (12) was set by Sam Crawford in 1901. He is also the holder for most career inside-the-park home runs with 51. The career leader post-1950 is 13 by former Royals outfielder Willie Wilson.\n\nJimmy Sheckard completed a phenomenal feat in 1901, hitting inside-the-park grand slams in consecutive games on consecutive days with the Brooklyn Superbas (later the Brooklyn Dodgers). Sheckard is the only person in Major League Baseball history to do so.\n\nA rare event occurred on July 13, 1896, when Ed Delahanty of the Philadelphia Phillies hit two inside-the-park home runs (out of four home runs total) in one game against the Chicago Cubs. [1] Ed Konetchy did the same on August 5, 1912

Babe Ruth\n\nRuth, a left hander, proved to be (1914—19) a formidable pitcher for the Red Sox and one of the most successful in major-league baseball, winning 87 and losing 44 games and winning three World Series games (one in 1916, two in 1918). However, because pitchers do not play in every game, in 1919 Ruth was shifted to the outfield, where his hitting prowess could be used consistently.\n\nThe following year he was sold to the New York Yankees of the American League, and because of his batting feats and attractive public personality he greatly helped to salvage baseball's popularity, weakened by revelations that gamblers and players, in the so-called Black Sox scandal, had successfully conspired to influence the results of the 1919 World Series. Ruth hit the most home runs per season for several years (1919—21, 1923—24, 1926—30), tied for the home run lead in 1918 and 1931, and set a record of 60 home runs in a 154-game season in 1927. (In 1961 Roger Maris hit 61 in a 162-game season, in 1998 Mark McGwire hit 70, and in 2001 Barry Bonds hit 73.) Ruth hit 714 home runs in major league play, a record that held until 1974, when Hank Aaron surpassed it. Ruth led the Yankees to seven pennants (1921—23, 1926—28, 1932), and Yankee Stadium, built in 1923, came to be known as "the house that Ruth built." \n\nHe was the highest-paid player of his era, but toward the end of his career he took several salary cuts before he was traded by the Yankees to the Boston Braves (National League) in 1935. He played with the Braves while serving as assistant manager but soon (June, 1935) was released.\n\nRuth was an unmistakable figure with his large frame and spindle-thin legs, and his talented and colorful play captured baseball fans' imagination. For example, in the third game of the 1932 World Series he appeared to indicate a spot in the stands of the Chicago Cubs' ball park where he would hit the ball and promptly blasted it there for a home run. Off the playing field "the Bambino," as he was affectionately called, made headlines for his charitable actions, such as visiting sick children in hospitals, as well as for his prodigious appetites and flamboyant lifestyle.\n\nIn 1936, Ruth became the second player to be elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame; Ty Cobb was the first. A year before he died he established and endowed the Babe Ruth Foundation to aid underprivileged youth. He wrote How to Play Baseball (1931). ...

Roger Conner held the career record from 1895 to 1920, with 138 career home runs.  As the previous poster mentioned, Ned Williamson held the single season record, 27 in 1884, until Ruth broke it with 29 in 1919.

Lou Gehrig did it in 1931 with 184 RBI's. He also hit 46 HR's and batted .341 for the season.\nThe guy was a stud.

Aaron started with the Milwaukee Braves in 1954, stayed with the team when the moved to Atlanta in 1966, and played there until 1974.  He then when to Milwaukee and finished his career with the Brewers in 1976.  Aaron played all or part of 23 seasons, not 26.  3298 games, 12364 at-bats\n\nRuth came up mid-season for the Red Sux in 1914 (July 11) and played there until being traded to the Yankees before the start of the 1920 season.  Stayed in New York until 1934, when he went back to Boston to play with the Braves in 1935, his only year there (his last game was May 30 of that year).  Ruth played all or part of 22 seasons.  2503 games, 8399 at-bats.  Ruth also had 2062 walks and 1330 K's, vs. Aaron's 1402 walks and 1383 K's.

Would have to say Babe Ruth. Not only did he hit 714 home runs, which stood as the major league record for nearly 40 years, but he was a career  .342 hitter with a .474 on base percentage. If that's not enough, he was also one of the best pitchers the game has ever seen with a 94-46 record a 2.28 career ERA and still holds the record for consecutive scoreless innings pitching in the World Series.

Yogi Berra, 1956 Game Seven \nThe Yankee catcher had one of the best days of his many post-season appearances, hitting two home runs, scoring three runs and driving in four, as the Yankees prevailed 9-0 and avenged their loss to the Dodgers in the World Series the year before.

GreenCaddyMan needs to read the question.  Ken Griffey Jr. hold's the the record for most Home Runs in the month of April, not September.\n\nBut yeah as for the real answer it is Albert Belle.  I just wish he didn't get hurt and have to retire as soon as he did.  He was a big help to the Orioles before he left the game!

As a Yankee fan, I am required to say Yankee Stadium but with that park aside... Camden Yards is excellent.  I love the fans there, the micro brews, the statue of Babe Ruth just outside the gates... It is just a cool place.

1927. It had the classic Murderers Row of Ruth who hit 60 hom runs without steroids and Lou Gehrig. The Yankees 110–44 in that year, winning the A.L. pennant by 19 games, and sweeping the Pittsburgh Pirates in the World Series. Only four teams have won more regular season games (the record of 116 is held by the 2001 Seattle Mariners).\n\nThe 1961, 1998 and 1939 teams were all great and would probably be the best year ever in most other ball clubs.

In 2503 games and 8399 At Bats, Babe Ruth hit 714 Home Runs.  So far, Barry Bonds has played in 2773 games with 9258 At Bats to hit 715 Home Runs.  So, Ruth did it with 270 less games and 859 less At Bats.  One of less mentioned benefits of the special "vitamins" that Bonds takes is that it allows players to lengthen their careers by helping them recover quicker from injuries.

The Guinness Book of World Records lists the longest recorded home run at 634 feet by Yankee great Mickey Mantle on Sept. 10, 1960, at Briggs Stadium in Detroit. Many dispute the record as myth or claim that the ball actually landed and rolled to its resting point 634 feet away from home plate.
