Willie Mays Mickey Mantle Ted Williams 14 MLB baseballs signed by 500 home run hitters 48x42 in frame
In Major League Baseball (MLB), the 500 home run club is a group of batters who have hit 500 or more regular-season home runs in their careers. There are twenty-eight players who are members of the 500 home run club. Seven 500 home run club members—Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Eddie Murray, Rafael Palmeiro, Albert Pujols, Alex Rodriguez and Miguel Cabrera—are also members of the 3,000 hit club.
In the past, membership in the 500 home run club was a guarantee of eventual entry into the Baseball Hall of Fame, although some believe the milestone has become less meaningful in recent years and many members have not been enshrined in Cooperstown.
All 15 players who became members of the 500 home run club between 1929 and 1996 are members of the Hall of Fame. Of the 11 players who made the 500 homer club between 1999 and 2015 who are Hall of Fame eligible, only four have been enshrined in Cooperstown. Seven eligible club members—Barry Bonds, Alex Rodriguez, Mark McGwire, Palmeiro, Manny Ramirez, Gary Sheffield and Sammy Sosa—have not been elected to the Hall. Bonds is one of only four members in the 700 home run club and Rodriguez and Sosa are members of the 600 homer club, all of whose other members are Hall of Famers except for the recently retired Albert Pujols, who hit 703 career home runs and is not eligible until 2027.
As a kid My First Love was getting baseball cards signed going to spring training in Palm Springs Arizona Florida going to old timer's baseball game such as the Cracker Jack Old-Timers Game in Washington DC Cooperstown New York for the induction ceremonies we would have to stay in Albany in New York several hours outside of Cooperstown because there was no rooms available and I was lucky enough to have grandparents that would wake up at 5 in the morning and drive me to and from Cooperstown daily to get signature.
As I got older this passion never subsided and throughout my life, I continued to make annual trips to Spring Training, MLB All Star Games, and visit the Hotels where MLB teams stayed as well as go to many ball games and get signatures at the stadium.
