Moving Up the List
Marcus Thames hit another home run last night, bringing his total to 14 for the season. With nine of his last eleven hits for home runs, Thames climbs high on the all-time list for highest percentage of hits for home runs.
All time leaders, percentage of HR for Hits (100*HR/Hits)
| Slugger | Percentage |
| Mark McGwire | 35.9 |
| Kevin Roberson | 32.8 |
| Ryan Howard | 30.5 |
| Russell Branyan | 29.2 |
| Adam Dunn | 29.0 |
| Marcus Thames | 28.8 |
| Dave Kingman | 28.1 |
| Ken Phelps | 27.8 |
Given Thames's poor OBA, he's much more like Dave Kingman than Dunn or Phelps.
