Eloy Jimenez hit two dingers on Friday night, giving him 11 for the season. Tim Anderson hit his tenth on Thursday night; if Abreu and Moncada plus the aforementioned players keep the pace up, it would give the Sox four players with 20 home runs in a season in back-to-back years since 2008-2009.
Today, we're looking at which players for the Sox have hit at least 20 dingers dating back to the 1990 season. In all, there have been 94 instances: how many can you name? Good luck!

- To add to the challenge, I've allotted just 7 minutes for completion attempts. As a reminder, if you'd like to play without the timer, simply change the timer from "default" to "stopwatch" on the Sporcle page.
- For hints, I've provided the number of home runs and the season.
Useless information to amaze, annoy, confuse, and/or confound your friends and/or family:
- Strangely, the 1990 team had no player reach the 20 home run mark.
- This season's Twins team is on pace to have 7 players reach the mark, with an additional 2 players having an outside shot to also hit 20 (Jason Castro has 8 and Byron Buxton has 9).
- Carl Reynolds was the first Sox player to achieve this, back in 1930, and it wouldn't be until 1934 when another Sox hitter accomplished the feat, with Zeke Bonura's 27.
