Each time Scott McClain suits up for the Fresno Grizzlies amazes me. He'll turn 37 on May 19 and enters his 20th pro season as the minor league's active home run leader with 291. Right behilnd him is Mike Hessman (288) with the Toldedo Mud Hens.
You might ask, who's the all-time minor-league homer champ? In America it's Buzz Arlett, who hit 432 way before you and me were born.
In Mexico, it's Hector Espino, whose 484 dingers is regarded as the most by a minor leaguer. Trailing him is Andres Mora (444), who hit the majority of his in the Mexican leagues.
Just thought you'd like to know.
