Ruth had the most home runs in any decade.

Black ink (bold) shows that the player had the best home run rate in his decade. McGwire had the best home run rate for any decade leader. Barry Bonds had the best home run rate for a decade but did not lead that decade in home runs. Bonds was sixth in the decade in home runs even though he played only eight seasons with only 2,871 At Bats (AB). Here are the players with the best home run rate for a decade but not the most home runs in the decade. None played all ten years.
