85 Shares

It might just be the most exclusive club in the 28-year history of the Rogers Centre/Skydome.

In all the hitters who’ve come to the plate at the dome, only a handful of them have accomplished this impressive feat: muscling a ball into the upper deck at the Rogers Centre for a home run.

Josh Donaldson is the latest player to join the short list of hitters to park long bombs into the fifth deck at the Rogers Centre.

Just 20 home runs have ever landed in the stadium’s upper deck, 11 of them courtesy of Blue Jays players. Donaldson became the ninth Blue Jays player to accomplish the rare feat. Here’s the full list of fifth deck home runs below, updated as of May 31st 2017.
