Do you have a link to where you are getting these numbers?
To make the top 10% (466 players) 136 HRs are needed.

To make the top 1% (47 players) 390 HRs are needed.

I posted where and how to get the numbers in a response to Grandstander. I'll copy it here:

Download Database - baseball1.com

If you have MS Access you can download that version. If you have Excel you can downlaod the comma-delimited version. You can then import the tables to Excel and use "text to columns" to get the data in a spreadsheet format. At least I think that's how I did it. If any of this is foreign to you I can help out some. I will try longtime's query tomorrow, unless someone beats me to it.
