This was discussed maybe ten years and all I can remember is Ken Griffey Jr was NOT one of them, he didn’t hit any after he turned 40. I think Alex Rodriguez is on the list.

Correct about Alex Rodriguez as he hit 5 HRs as a 19 year old with the Mariners and 9 HRs as 40 year old with the Yankees.

Somewhat surprisingly, Willie Mays did not hit any Home Runs with the Birmingham Black Barons when he was 17 (he only had 43 recognized at bats) and he wasn't called up to the Giants until he was 20. But yeah, he was hitting Home Runs with the Mets when he was 42.

4 more to go.

Those are both fantastic guesses, but although both Kaline and Killebrew started in the Majors at age 18, both also retired at age 39.

Another excellent guess, Beltre started with the Dodgers at 19, but retired with Texas at 39.

Mel Ott is an excellent guess, as he started hitting HRs for the Giants when he was 18, but he retired at 38.

Darryl Strawberry is a fine guess as well, but was 21 as a Rookie, and retired at age 37,

Still 4 to go though (that I am aware of).
