Here's the official list (as of Thome's 500th; he has a few more now).

 

Remember:  these are the numbers each guy hit while he was playing on an American League team only:

 

1.  Babe Ruth                 708

2.  Alex Rodriguez        626*             (he could possibly pass The Babe, if he recovers from knee surgery)

3.  Harmon Killebrew    573

4.  Reggie Jackson       563              

5.  Rafael Palmeiro       544*

6.  Mickey Mantle            536

7.  Jimmie Foxx              524

8.  Ted Williams             521

8.  Frank Thomas          521

10.  Manny Ramirez      511*

11.  Jim Thome             500

 

* = steroid assisted?

 

bold = still active players
