With all the great home run hitters in today's baseball, there is a chance none of them will crack the Top 10 in career homers. But there is an even better chance alot of them will crack the Top 10. I took into consideration every hitter in the MLB today, and based on age and production came up with a list of the Top 10 all-time home run kings in 2025.
Current All-Time Home Run Leaders
1. Hank Aaron 755
2. Barry Bonds 720
3. Babe Ruth 714
4. Willie Mays 660
5. Sammy Sosa 588
6. Frank Robinson 586
7. Mark McGwire 583
8. Harmon Killebrew 573
9. Rafael Palmeiro 569
10. Reggie Jackson 563
2025 Career Home Run Leaders
1. Barry Bonds 759
Bonds is still a very dangerous hitter. Obviously he is not the same as he was in 2001-2003 but still scary. Likely move to American League will put him back into chase for 25+ homers in a season.
2. Hank Aaron 755
3. Albert Pujols 724
The best hitter of the game will continue throughout a long HOF career. He is so young, 26 and isn't even at the prime of his career. Don't be surprised if Big Al breaks the single season record between now and 2025.
4. Babe Ruth 714
5. Willie Mays 660
6. Alex Rodriguez 631
He seems to be struggling a bit this year, but you can't doubt the power his has when he swings the bat. The rumors of him being traded from the Bronx won't take away his Home Run ability.
7. Ken Griffey Jr. 625
Even with the injuries throughout his career, he will be among the tops in homers. He will go down as one of the truly great home run hitters of all time.
8. Manny Ramirez 603
Manny is a player that nobody will realize how great he was until he retires. All we hear about today is his trade requests and antics in left field, when we are really watching greatness.
9. Adam Dunn 591
One of the most underrated home run hitters of his era, but when all said is done his mark will be left on baseball.
10. Miguel Cabrera 590
He is the second best NL hitter at age 23. Will be a poor mans Ken Griffey but will not be injured as often. Very versatile defensive player is an extremely underrated offensive threat.
With a potential MVP in young David Wright, there is no way the 'Stros win more than one game in the series. Add big batters Carlos Beltran and Carlos Delgado and Roger Clemens, Lance Berkman and crew are one and done.
St. Louis Cardinals vs. San Diego Padres
ALDS
Cardinals 3-2
Inconsisten pitching by the Cardinals will keep San Diego in this series. Jake Peavy will win his start, but in the end Albert Pujols, Scott Rolen and the St. Louis offense will be too much for the Padres to handle.
American League
Chicago White Sox vs. Detroit Tigers
ALDS
White Sox 3-1
The White Sox veteran bats (Jim Thome, Paul Konerko, and Jermaine Dye) and good pitching (Jose Contreras and Co.) will take out the young Tigers. Kenny Rodgers will be very solid, but the Tigers must wait a year.
Boston Red Sox vs. Oakland Athletics
ALDS
Red Sox 3-0
Boston has the best lineup in the league, and David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez always show up in the playoffs. The A's are just too inconsisten when it comes to hitting the ball.
National League
New York Mets vs. St. Louis Cardinals
NLCS
Mets 4-2
The Mets combination of pitching and offense will win out the Cardinals. Pujols needs a little more help to do something in the playoffs. Pedro Martinez and Tom Glavine will show up when it counts.
American League
Boston Red Sox vs. Chicago White Sox
ALCS
Red Sox 4-3
In a battle of the Sox the red one's will come out on top. Mr. Clutch a.k.a Big Papi David Ortiz will come up huge and Josh Beckett (Marlins 2003) remembers what a World Series Championship feels like.
WORLD SERIES
Boston Red Sox vs. New York Mets
Red Sox 4-2
The Sox pitching will come up huge against the Mets' young guns. David Wright won't be as effective as he was during the regular season, and Manny wins MVP for the second time in his career. Josh Beckett wins game Six for the Sox. Papelbon saves 3 in the series.
