Last night, José Bautista became the first player in the major leagues to hit 40 home runs this season. Here's a card to commemorate your achievement, José!
Bautista joins some pretty select company in the Blue Jay 40 Homer Club, and he has a very realistic chance at breaking George Bell's club record of 47. Here are the other Jays who have accomplished this feat:
Player | Year | Home Runs |
Jesse Barfield | 1986 | 40 |
George Bell | 1987 | 47 |
Jose Canseco | 1998 | 46 |
Carlos Delgado | 1999 | 44 |
Shawn Green | 1999 | 42 |
Carlos Delgado | 2000 | 41 |
Tony Batista | 2000 | 41 |
Carlos Delgado | 2003 | 42 |
