I was doing some reading on MLB records, etc. and came across the list of players who have hit 50+ HRs in a single season and I guess I never realized how big of an accomplishment it truely is consideing how few times it's been done. I also look down the list and PEDs seems to just JUMP out at me but this is what the record books show today...
42 - Number of times it's been done
26 - Number of different players to do it
9 - Number of players to do it more than one time, including:
2x - Jimmie Fox
2x - Ken Griffey Jr.
2x - Ralph Kiner
2x - Mickey Mantle
2x - Willie Mays
3x - Alex Rodriguez
4x - Mark McGwire
4x - Babe Ruth
4x - Sammy Sosa
