Juan Gonzalez has hit more homers (214) than anyone else in Rangers history, but the franchise leader is Frank Howard, who hit 237 from 1965 to '71 when the club played in Washington and nine after the team moved to Texas in '72. Still, Gonzalez is the leader in home run rate (one every 14.6 at bats) for players hitting at least 25. That ranks him ahead of Jose Canseco (16.3), Bobby Bonds (16.4), Mickey Tettleton (16.4) and Howard (16.7).
