Game Tying Home Runs?

[LarrySC]

Would it be possible to calculate how many times a team has tied a game with a home run?

[JDanger]

With retrosheet data I could do that, so long as you are looking for pre-2012 data.

[LarrySC]

Sure. That will work. Thanks JDanger.

[LarrySC]

Awesome. Thanks. Could I bother you to do it for individuals? How did you compile the totals?

[JDanger]

My pleasure. I used my retrosheet database.

Since 1950.

In the last 10 years:
First Last GT_HR
Alex Rodriguez 36
Adam Dunn 36
Derrek Lee 35
Albert Pujols 34
Ryan Howard 31
Adrian Beltre 31
Manny Ramirez 31

Is it possible to calculate game winning home runs in the 9th inning for
visiting players?

If so, might as well add extra inning homers too. Just a thought...
