for some reason i thought this was far more common than it was

Babe Ruth 119 1921
Lou Gehrig 117 1927
Barry Bonds 107 2001
Chuck Klein 107 1930
Todd Helton 105 2001

Hank Greenberg 103 1937
Todd Helton 103 2000
Chuck Klein 103 1932

Sammy Sosa 103 2001
Rogers Hornsby 102 1922
Jimmie Foxx 100 1932
Lou Gehrig 100 1930
Luis Gonzalez 100 2001

falling just short:

Derrek Lee 99 2005
Albert Pujols 99 2004

Belle's 103 in '95 was in a shortened season of 144 games. He pro-rates to 116--he may have challenged the record.

Belle chasing the single season HR record in '95 (had it been a full season) would have been ... something.

Belle was awesome that year--not sure if it was PED-assisted or not ('95 was right on the cusp of widespread use). I thought it was a terrible MVP choice at the time (Vaughn), and still do. The Indians were 100-44! Their standard lineup had one HOF'er (Murray), someone who will go in (Thome), someone who would have gone in if clean, and may yet (Manny), someone who would have gone in if his head had been screwed on straight (Belle), someone who some people feel should go in eventually (Lofton), and one guy who's got an outside shot (Vizquel)--all having pretty-good-to-awesome years. Plus: Baerga when he was good, and Sorrento with 25 HRs. The only weak spot was Tony Pena, and for a catcher he wasn't awful. Of course, that was the only Series win by the great Braves teams.
