Yankees' McCann joins elite company with 8th straight 20-home run season
Charles LeClaire / USA TODAY Sports
When New York Yankees catcher Brian McCann blasted a three-run shot in Friday's contest against the Cleveland Indians, he reached rarefied air.
With the homer, McCann's 20th of the season, he joined Yogi Berra and Mike Piazza as the only catchers in MLB history with 20 or more homers in eight consecutive seasons.
| Year | Team | HR |
|---|---|---|
| 2006 | Braves | 24 |
| 2008 | Braves | 23 |
| 2009 | Braves | 21 |
| 2010 | Braves | 21 |
| 2011 | Braves | 24 |
| 2012 | Braves | 20 |
| 2013 | Braves | 20 |
| 2014 | Yankees | 23 |
| 2015 | Yankees | 20 |
For McCann, it's the ninth time he's accomplished the feat, making him the fifth catcher to have at least nine seasons of 20 or more homers.
