Name the 6 current franchises that have never had one of their players step to the plate with 500+ career HR. (Doesn't mean they had a player and then that player went on to hit 500)

For example....Sammy Sosa got to 573 HR while he was on the Cubs, but got to 609 while playing for the Rangers.....but his White Sox years he was way under 500 when he played for them.

I think Laley is close.

The Expos/Nationals, Marlins for sure. The Rays and Orioles had Manny Ramirez and Eddie Murray late in their careers. I'll also say Colorado Rockies, Kansas City Royals, San Diego Padres too.

I mean, I think the Jays were closest with Delgone. So I think they are one. I dont know when/where guys ended their careers though back in the day. Hell, I forgot Manny went to TBR and that Murray went BACK to Baltimore (though he still barely got to 500, so did he get it with them or his last stop...Anaheim??)

Almost positive Murray hit 500 in a Baltimore uniform. I think Jays are a good guess. That's why I said who I did. All new franchises.

I just looked up who for the Jays batted with 500 HR's. Definitely forgot that one. Always remembered him as a Chi Sock and nothing else.

Crazy, since they "brought up" 2 of the all timers in the category.
