Harper Tied at 233 All Time: Joins Some Good Names

 Harper Tied at 233 All Time: Joins Some Good Names

233.Bret Boone (14)252RHR Log
 Bryce Harper (10, 28)252LHR Log
 Bobby Murcer (17)252LHR Log
 Joe Torre+ (18)

Torre played until 1977 with many teams. He became more famous for being the skipper of the killer Yankees of the turn of the century, with Derek Jeter et al.

Murcer played a lot with the Yankees, with some away time in the middle, finishing in 1983. He was 19 when he began, with a high home run year in 1972, with 33. Torre hit his best of 36 in 1966, with the Atlanta Braves.

Boone played only 14 years, in a bigger home run era, from 1992 until 2006. He hit 37 in 2001, a pretty good year for home run hitters, despite the terrorist attacks near the end of the season. He was done at age 36.

While I am typing this post Harper hit another one against the Dodgers.

The count goes on.
