Home Run Box Plots for 500 HR Club

Box plots are a great way to condense large datasets into manageable pieces, while showing some significant patterns within the underlying data.

Here we have the 25 members of the 500 Homer club through 2013. Box plots make it easy to view the median, lower and upper quartiles, range, and even the outliers (as shown by red circles).
