Carlos Beltran led both the Mets and Yankees but he led the city only while playing for the Mets: 2006 when he tied the Met record with 41. In 2016 Beltran led the Yankees with 22 but Met Yoenis Cespedes hit 31 that season.
Bill Joyce tied for the Dodger lead in home runs in 1892 with 6 but two Giants hit more that year: 8. In 1898 Bill Joyce played for the Giants and hit the most home runs in New York City: 10. So Joyce led two different New York teams in home runs.
34 players led New York City in home runs at least twice. 16 of those led at least three times. HRmax is the most when the player led New York City in home runs, not necessarily the most he ever hit. For instance, Mickey Mantle hit 54 in 1961 but was second to teammate Roger Maris who hit 61 in his only season leading New York City in home runs. HRmin is the fewest when leading New York City in home runs. Years are first and last when leading New York City in home runs.
12 of the 18 players leading twice did it in consecutive seasons, including the most recent five.
