Question I missed this answer on an AFLAC question last night. The question was name the 4 major league players that have hit 10 or more home runs in 20 seasons. Could you please help me with that answer. Thank you so much for your time.

Answer Dan,
My research indicates there were a total of 11 guys who hit 10 or more home runs for 20 years or more. Here they are:
From To Ages Seasons

Carl Yastrzemski 1961 1983 21-43 22
Barry Bonds 1986 2007 21-42 21

Dave Winfield 1974 1994 22-42 20

Willie McCovey 1959 1979 21-41 20

Are you sure the question wasn't something like "20 consecutive years"?
