1982 Topps Home Run Leaders
This card celebrates the top home run hitters from the 1981 baseball season.
Mike Schmidt led all hitters with his 31 dingers during the 1981 campaign. In the American League, there was a 4-way tie for the league leader spot at just 22. The group included Tony Armas, Dwight Evans, Bobby Grich, and Hall of Famer Eddie Murray.
It’s amazing how much the game has changed over time. During the 2009 baseball season 23 players had more than Schmidt’s tally of 31. And there were well over 70 players to eclipse Murray’s league best 22.
