a home run is a hit in which the batter reaches home plate, scoring a run on the same play without being put out, and without the benefit of a fielding error. most often in modern baseball, this occurs when the batter hits the ball over the outfield wall in fair territory. home-run hitters are often likely to be larger, slower players due to their strength, and may not be fast enough to complete the triple. the mlb single-season and all-time leader in home runs is barry bonds, who hit 73 home runs in the 2001 season and notched 762 in his 22-season career. bonds never hit for the cycle. of mlb leaders in career home runs, the highest ranking player with a cycle is alex rodriguez (fourth all-time; retired in 2016 with 696 home runs), who hit for the cycle on june 5, 1997. home runs can also occur on a batted ball that does not leave the field of play; this is called an inside-the-park home run. inside-the-park home runs are rare, and no player has hit one as part of a cycle since 1943.
