50 home run club

 * Nominator(s): Bloom6132 (talk) 19:46, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I feel it has been improved significantly over the past year and now meets all 6 FL criteria. —Bloom6132 (talk) 19:46, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

 * There should be an extra table listing the multiple winners. Nergaal (talk) 21:09, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually, adding such a table would be completely redundant. This list is a stat club, not an award (where a multiple winners table would be more appropriate, such as FL Cy Young Award).  Even then, baseball FLs for awards such as Major League Baseball Most Valuable Player Award don't include multiple winners table and instead utilize numbers beside multiple winners.  In this case, small numbers are already included after multiple winners and that alone will suffice. —Bloom6132 (talk) 11:51, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
 * If you explain to me how a reader can easily figure out which palyer had the most/the second most/ etc. 50+ HR seasons then I will agree that such a table is redundant. Nergaal (talk) 07:07, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Players with the most 50+ HR seasons are already noted in the first paragraph of the lead. The player with the second most (i.e. A-Rod) is already listed in the table with (3) denoting the # of seasons he's had.  My hunch is that the reader would have at least read the first paragraph of the lead before proceeding to the table.  I'm also assuming that the key would play a part in them understanding that the small number beside a player's name would denote the # of HR they had accomplished at that point.  The table is sorted chronologically, so reading the number beside a player's name makes it pretty easy to figure out which players have the most (i.e. whoever has the highest number has the most).  These are reasonable assumptions, aren't they? —Bloom6132 (talk) 07:22, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
