home run record
Most career dingers
A home run record is an official mark for most home runs hit under specified conditions—in a single game, season, or career, within a league or across all of baseball.
The phrase often refers implicitly to the most celebrated benchmarks: Bonds broke the single-season home run record in 2001.
Because baseball venerates its statistical history, home run records carry unusual cultural weight, and their pursuit generates intense public attention.
