Chicago Cubs Top Home Run Hitters – No. 12: Alfonso Soriano (181)
For seven seasons Alfonso Soriano roamed left field for the Cubs, knocking balls over the ivy-covered walls with regularity.
In his six full seasons with the club, he never hit fewer than 20 homers and never more than 33. Even though his most productive years were behind him when he joined the Cubs, he still performed at a high level, making it to two All-Star games.
Soriano also could hit a gap. He legged out 218 doubles in Chicago and produced a slugging percentage of .495.
He may not have been the all-around hitter that Mark Grace and Derrek Lee were, but he edged them both out in home runs. He just missed the top ten, but number eleven is pretty impressive.
