All correct thus far, minus Ramirez - who is 19th, 9 HR shy of Ozuna. Ozuna is actually tied with another player for 17th.

In fact you have the top 9. After that is where it starts getting a little tricky.
I know Salvador Perez has to be in there because he passed up Brett when he hit 318 earlier this year.

Ohtani probably.

Alonso...don't think he's hit 300 yet but he has to be getting close.

No other guesses.

Here's a fun one.

Rank these current and former Cardinal shortstops in order by total career home runs (not just with the Cardinals).

Winn
Kozma
Theriot
Izturis
Eckstein
Ozzie
Is DeJong the all time leader?

Of that list Winn might be the only one with a double digit homer season but don't think he has enough to overtake the longevity of some of the others.

My guesses

Eckstein
Winn
Theriot
Ozzie
Izturis
Kozma

Ozzie might be too high but I feel like his longevity might make up for his low season totals.

Looks like DeJong (146) is the all-time leader over Renteria (140) and Furcal (113). I can't think of anyone else that would be close.

As for your list..

You were very close. Ozzie is third with 28. A bit of a trick question, as Izturis and Theriot both ended with 17.

I should have tossed Brendan Ryan in there too.

DeJong had some big homer numbers.

I like thinking through those kinds of things, interesting list.

The Astros claimed Nelson Velasquez after he was DFA'd by St. Louis this past week.
