    List of Major League Baseball home run champions:

    1998 Mark McGwire St. Louis Cardinals 70
    1999 Mark McGwire St. Louis Cardinals 65
    2001 Barry Bonds San Francisco Giants 73

    NOTE: Sosa finished the 1998 season with sixty-six, but did not win the National League home run title, as McGwire finished his season with seventy homers. Two years later, Sosa would finally get the title with fifty home runs.
