Only four players have done it since 1977

When MLB expanded in 1977 it opened the door for players to hit their 25th and 26th ledgers. Since that year there have been 1860 ledger home runs which were the 25th or greater of a players career. These high stakes ledgers tend to be spaced out more as schedules were less conducive to bunching prior to 2023.

Prior to the 2024 season only three players had hit high stakes ledgers on consecutive days. On May 21, 2024, Jesse Winker became the fourth. Here are those players, in chronological order.

David Segui

#26 : May 31, 1998 – Seattle at Tampa Bay – Top 7th

#27 : June 1, 1998 – Seattle at Baltimore – Top 1st

Adrián Beltré

#25 : July 24, 2005 – Seattle at Cleveland – Top 9th

#26 : July 25, 2005 – Seattle vs Detroit – Bottom 4th

Miguel Tejada

#26: April 6, 2008 – Houston at Chicago Cubs – Top 7th

#27: April 7, 2008 – Houston vs St. Louis – Top 9 (Walk-Off)

Jesse Winker

#25 : May 19, 2024 – Washington at Philadelphia – Top 5th

#26 : May 20, 2024 – Washington vs Minnesota – Bottom 4th
