[[Barry Bonds]], who set [[List of Major League Baseball progressive single-season home run leaders|the record for the most home runs in a season]] in [[Major League Baseball]] history, is often cited as a power hitter. His career was later bogged down by allegations regarding [[performance enhancing drugs]]. However, he managed a total of 762 home runs while also earning a comparatively high ISO compared to his rivals, with the publication ''[[Business Insider]]'' labeling him #3 in a list of the greatest power hitters of all time.<ref name=Gaines/>

Prior to [[Barry Bonds]] breaking the single season home run record in 2001, [[Sammy Sosa]] and [[Mark McGwire]] closely competed for the record in 1998 with Sosa finishing at a respective 66 home runs and McGwire with a respective 70 home runs to secure the title.{{Citation needed |date=September 2023 |reason=‘https://britishartstudies.ac.uk/media/w1060h800/issue19/fig-17-kingdom-dahomey-africa.jpg' has nothing to do with the sentence}}
