I didn't realize the Dodgers have never had a 50 HR hitter. One of only 3 of the 16 "original" teams to never have one. Can you name the other two?

Extra piece of trivia. Only one team in history has never had a 40 HR hitter, can you name them?

Someone mentioned it, but yeah it was Pena in 2007.

The twins are one of the 3 original teams that have never had a 50 HR hitter. Killebrew hit 49 twice. Brian Dozier also hit 42 last year. Roy Sievers hit 42 in 1957 when they were still the Senators. Killebrew did it 8 times.
