Take a minute and let the above list illustrate clearly one fact: Dennis Alejandro Lamar Pearson is the Fucking GOAT. 24 more jacks than his closest rival (nearly enough to place his name on this list a second time), the only player to knock on out of the park more frequently than every tenth at bat, and the only player to have had a double-digit HR total in every season played.
Now that that's settled, scroll through the list and let it sink in just how rare true power hitters are in this league. Only 3 players have reached 50 bombs, seven more have managed to break the 40 plateau, and all-in-all there are only 15 players who have slugged for the quarter-century mark. Obviously, longevity helps out. 12 of the 15 have played at least 5 seasons. Still, 2 players have managed their way onto the list in just half that time. Full disclosure: before doing any research I thought we could get a group of 50 HR hitters; well… that would've been a very small club. Failing that, 40 seemed like an odd cut off point, even as a top ten. 25 is a more traditionally celebrated milestone number, while still providing a clean top 15 list.
That's 15 people, ONLY 15 people, who have hit 25 or more home runs in their career. I know I said the 3 players at 50 HR were a small club, but 15 at 25 HR is still pretty darn exclusive. We have had over 130 players that have taken right around 25,000 at bats in WSEM. Do the quick math and these 15 players represent just over 11% of hitters in the league. There have been a total of 1235 HR hit in the history of WSEM. These 15 players account for 650 of those bombs: 52.6% of all the shots ever hit out of a WSEM field.

Small club.
Big flies.
