List of Major League Baseball players with a home run in their final major league at bat

This is a list of the 51 Major League Baseball (MLB) players who have hit a home run in their final major league at bat (through the 2016 season).

Paul Gillespie and John Miller are the only players in MLB history to hit home runs in their first and last big league at bats.

Bobby Kielty and David Ross both hit their final home runs in a World Series game. Kielty hit his in the series-clinching Game 4 of the 2007 World Series. Ross's occurred in Game 7 of the 2016 World Series and would prove to be an important contribution to ending the 108 year title drought of the Chicago Cubs.
