The 'AL home run champion' quiz

The Major League Baseball regular season is over, and for the third time in his career New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge finished atop the American League home run list. Despite getting off to a slow start, Judge finished with 58 home runs, joining just Babe Ruth, Sammy Sosa, Mark McGwire and Ken Griffey Jr. as the only players to hit at least 55 dingers in a season multiple times. He's also the first player since Barry Bonds MLB history to post a slugging percentage over .700 for the whole season, finishing at .701. Judge’s prowess at the plate resulted in him getting intentionally walked 20 times in the regular season – most in baseball – once with two men out and nobody on base. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Opposing managers will likely continue to give Judge first base at every opportunity they can. What he does in the few at-bats he gets a good pitch to hit could determine how deep the Yankees playoff run goes. With that being said, can you name every American League home run champion since 1994?

Good luck!
