The Real Bash Brothers

So who were the most prolific home-run hitting teammates of all time? It sure wasn't Canseco and McGwire.

I looked at the home run records for all teammates who hit at least 100 homers individually, and here they are:

There are two current pairings on the list, the so-called Killer Bs of Houston and the Jones Boys in Atlanta. So where are the Bash Brothers? They crack the list at a meager number 41 with 503 home runs in eight years (McGwire 254 and Canseco 249), tied with Schmitty and the Bull and just three dingers behind Juan Gone and Pudge in Texas.
