	Fred Mcgriff also has 493 homers and played first base. You should probably except either him or Gehrig for that spot.

	I think Alfonso Soriano plays outfield, not second base. Not sure though.

	chris143:	Jun 10th, 2011 at 10:45 GMT		0 points
	I says he plays left field on his player card.

	a lot of these guy played multiple positions and did not hit them all at that position, Ernie Banks was a shortstop most of his career, A-Rod played short most of his career as well, by the logic of this quiz Babe Ruth hit the most home runs of any pitcher because he started his career there

	Soriano has played more games at 2B than LF. That should change after this year. Banks has played more games at 1B than SS

	LinuxLinus:	Jun 10th, 2011 at 17:34 GMT		1 point
	Rodriguez and Banks should both probably be listed at SS. They accrued the majority of their career value at that position. Banks in particular was not much of a player after moving to 1B.

	Musial played more games at first base (1016) than at leftfield (929). Less than half of his games as an outfielder were played in left field

	It's a little misleading or unclear, since a lot of these players played more than one position, but their career HR totals are included. Babe Ruth, for instance, hit 49 HRs as a pitcher for the Boston Red Sox before joining the Yankees. Perhaps if you changed the game to "HR Leaders by primary position?"
