Rogers Hornsby held the season home run (HR) record for four different teams, three concurrently.  Checking data since 1901, I could not find another player who had records for more than two teams.  Multiple team record holders are in bold below. Red bold means a rookie set the team record.

Click link to view all the detailed data.   Below are the three most recent record holders per team.  The teams since 1960 are grouped first.  Both groups are in order by the number of years the player has held the record.  Jimmie Foxx is number one: 93 years for the As through 2022.  Foxx also held the Red Sox record for 68 years, which combined I think gives Foxx a record for total years held, and also concurrent.  Three of Hornsby's four records were short lived.

More comments below this list of the three most recent for each team through 2022, including Aaron Judge setting the new Yankee record in 2022:

The great Hornsby changed teams three consecutive seasons and set the new team's season HR record all three times.

19 of the 30 team records are at least 50 HR.

Record holder for at least 50 consecutive years:

current through 2022:

Team	Player	HR	Year	Years
As	Jimmie Foxx	37-58	1930	93
Tigers	Hank Greenburg	26-58	1934	89
Pirates	Ralph Kiner	23-54	1946	77
Twins	Harmon Killebrew	42-49	1959	64

past:

Team	Player	HR	Year	Years
Cubs	Hack Wilson	30-56	1927	71
Red Sox	Jimmie Foxx	50	1938	68
Yankees	Roger Maris	61	1961	62

Wilson with the Cubs passed by Sosa 66 in 1998, Foxx with the Red Sox passed by Ortiz 54 in 2006. Maris with the Yankees passed by Judge 62 in 2022.

Ty Cobb broke Sam Crawford's Tiger record of 7 when Cobb led the AL with 9 in 1909, all inside the park.  That was Cobb's only league HR championship and it provided Cobb with the triple crown as he also led in batting average and RBI.

I did not have the space for the Pirates to include Honus Wagner who never led the league and reached double figures only once: at age 34 in 1910 with 10 to set the team record.  Chief Wilson broke it with 12 the next season.  Wilson was later tied by Reb Russell in 1922 and Pie Traynor in 1923.  Kiki Cuyler finally broke the three way tie with 18 HR in 1925.

Catcher Gabby Hartnett hit 24 in 1924 for a new Cubs record.  Frank Schulte had held the Cubs record since 1906; his final record was 21.

Father and son: Bonds.  Son Barry, of course, holds the season record of 73, which he set with the Giants in 2001.  In 1977 father Bobby tied Leon Wagner for the Angels record of 37.  In 1982 Reggie Jackson hit 39 for the Angels.  Troy Glaus topped Jackson with 47 in 2000.
