MLB trivia?

If you define "team" as a specific unit during a championship season, then it would be Maris-Mantle with the 1961 New York Yankees. The two players on that TEAM hit 115 HR (61 & 54, respectively).

If you define "team" as franchise, then you have to go with Craig S and Chipmaker.

At one time it was Aaron and Mathews. Going by full seasons (and not being tweaky about debut/departure dates), Aaron came up in 1954 and Mathews left the Braves after 1966.

Aaron (1954-66) == 442

Mathews (1954-66) == 421

pair == 863

For comparison, Ruth & Gehrig, 1923-34

Babe == 511

Lou == 348

pair == 859

Bonds & Kent, 1997-2002

Barry == 279

Jeff == 175

pair == 454

Griffey & Martinez, 1989-99

Ken Jr. == 398

Gar == 198

pair == 596

Thome & Ramirez, 466

Sosa & Grace (yep, this was Sammy's best co-slugger during his Cubs tenure), 468

McGwire & Canseco, 508

Gonzalez & Palmeiro, 427

Bench & Foster, 521

Current winner appears to be the Jones twins, 731.

I cannot think of any other powerful, long-tenured tandems in recent years. I'm confident that Hank & Eddie still own the mark.

Ortiz & Ramirez, 388.

Eddie Mathews and Hank Aaron combined for 863 home runs in their 13 years together on the Braves.

Career-Hank Aaron and Eddie Mathews (Braves)

Single Season-Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle (1961 Yankees)

Hank Aaron and Eddie Matthews for the Braves are #1 with 902 combined home runs as teammates.

Hank Aaron and Eddie Matthews - they hit over 850 combined as teammates.

Previous to them, it was the Ruth-Gehrig combo.

Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig

In one season? Or what time frame are we talking? What about Gehrig & Ruth?

maybe when Fred McGriff and Sammy Sosa were both playing for the Cubs...

idk......i know Manny and Ortiz have hit a lot together..
