* In 2001, there was a postponement of 1 week of games in September, immediately following the 9/11 attacks
in New York City. These postponed games were played in the first week of October, 2001.
Richie Sexson and Sammy Sosa each hit 5 HR in October, 2001…a record that will probably never be broken.
Barry Bonds hit 12 HR in September and 4 HR in October, 2001, for a total of 16 HR.
