All-Time Home Run trivia?
Since 1876 (the first year of the National League) nine players have been recognized as being the all-time home run leader. We all know about Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron and Babe Ruth. Who are the other six players who can lay claim to this record?
Good job, Yank. You got it.
Chaos, you are also correct. In 1876, they recognized the NA home runs. It wasn't until years later that pre-1876 records were ignored.

1876 George Hall 5
1877 Charley Jones 6
1885 Harry Stovey 50
1887 Dan Brouthers 65
1889 Harry Stovey 89
1895 Roger Connor 126
1921 Babe Ruth 162
1974 Hank Aaron 733
2007 Barry Bonds 762
If you're considering the time period to be since 1876 then you can't count the National Association home runs before 1876. The home runs hit by Fred Treacey, Lou Pike, and Jim O'Rourke in the NA shouldn't be counted so they can't lay claim to be the "temporary" home run record holder. Otherwise they would be on the list.
For instance in the Natinal League in 1876 George Hall had 5 and Lip Pike had 1. Pike did have 15 before 1876 in the National Association.
