Default Major Achievement in the Minors:

Mike Hessman, an infielder for Triple-A Toledo in the Detroit Tigers' system, became the career home runs leader for U.S.-based minor leagues Monday night, hitting his 433rd in the seventh inning of a game against Lehigh Valley.

Hessman reached the actual mark in style, hitting a grand slam to break a tie on the career list with Buzz Arlett.

According to the Society for American Baseball Research, Hector Espino hit 484 minor league home runs, but he hit most of them in the Mexican League, which is not part of the affiliated minor league system.

The 37-year-old Hessman has played 109 games in the major leagues for Detroit, the Atlanta Braves and the New York Mets. He has not appeared in the majors since 2010. He has hit 14 homers in the majors, batting .188 overall.

Too good for AAA, but not good enough for the majors.

AAAA player.

One HOFer played thirteen years in the minors after playing in his last major league game winning over 200 games during that span.

Yup. and Joe Baumann set (and still holds IMHO) the professional record of 72 HRs. (If he does not than why even keep a record book anymore?)
