Great stuff here, but you need to add some names to those with the same # of home runs in three consecutive seasons. Both Adam Laroche and Hunter Pence joined the club in 2010.

Adam Laroche hit 25 from 2008-2010. In 2009, he hit 12 with the Pirates, 1 with the Red Sox, and 12 with the Braves.

Pence also hit 25 from 2008-2010 with the Astros.
