Home runs by position

[KingSwisher]

I found this chart, but it only goes thru the 2004 season. Does anybody know where I might find one that includes the 2005 season?

Or just the modern records would be fine too.

Thank you.

Very interesting. I was surprised by two results:

~ that centerfielders had more home runs than third basemen, and
~ that second basemen had more home runs than shortstops.

Makes for some interesting bar bets.

I tried getting that from the MLB.com database, but had some trouble.
