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.

Kevin Roberson32.8
Ryan Howard30.5
Russell Branyan29.2
Adam Dunn29.0
Marcus Thames28.8
Dave Kingman28.1
Ken Phelps27.8

Given Thames's poor OBA, he's much more like Dave Kingman than Dunn or Phelps.
