Bryant s 36 homers this season are tied for the N.L. lead and are already the most by a Cub since Aramis Ramirez hit 38 in 2006. Bryant has totaled 62 homers in the first two seasons of his career, a franchise record and already the ninth most homers in major league history for a player s first two seasons (Mark Teixeira is eighth with 64 homers) Joe DiMaggio holds the record with 75 homers over his first two seasons. Bryant has joined Ernie Banks as the only two players in franchise history to reach 36 homers in either their first or second big league season Banks hit 44 homers in 1955 as a sophomore.
