Jacks, bombs, moon shoots, dingers, four-baggers and going yard - there are many ways to describe a batter sending the ball over the back fence.

However, they will always be called home runs in the box score.

Since the departure of the dead ball era in 1920, the game's greatest names have made a habit of stepping up to the plate and blasting fastballs, splitters and curves into the stratosphere.
