Our next category of our major league record book is career home runs.

Let’s take a look:

2006-2017
1 Dan Murphy Luray ’05 110
2 Jason Kipnis Covington ’06-7 88
3 Yonder Alonso Luray ’06 67
4 Ryan Schimpf Luray ’08 34
5 Jon Jay Staunton ’04 33
6 Cory Spangenberg Winchester ’10 20
7 Clint Robinson Harrisonburg ’05-6 15
8 Collin Cowgill Covington ’05 12
9 Tyler White Haymarket ’10 11
10 Tommy La Stella Haymarket ’09 9
Mac Williamson Harrisonburg ’11 9
12 Joey Butler New Market ’06 8
13 Eric Campbell Luray ’06 7

There’s Dan Murphy heading up the recent list once again. Jason Kipnis is closing, though, and Yonder Alonso hit 28 in 2017… putting himself in the mix in the future.
