Killebrew was a Kansas City Royal at the end of his career.
How about Ernie Banks and the Cubs?

The Killer is the Senators/Twins leader but he finished up his career in 1975 with the KC Royals where he hit his final 14 HRs
So that's a 'No' on the all with one franchise group.

The hilariously weird and phony Ryan Braun.
Re: Franchise HR Kwiz
The team that played in Brooklyn - Roy Campanella
The players in that franchise who hit more went on to homer for other teams.
So I'm not sure if that fits the rules.

Edgar is wrong, Ripken is right, Ott is wrong, Braun is right, Campanella is wrong

So seven others remain in this specific category which, to repeat, is: a player who hit all his HRs for one franchise AND is the all-time leading HR hitter for that club. Some of the ones being mentioned are one or the other but not both.

I’ll venture Hank Aaron for Braves
Btw I forgot all about Todd Helton somehow. He was pretty awesome

Re: Franchise HR Kwiz
Aaron of course is the Braves HR leader but he's not the right answer here because he also hit 22 as a Brewer
But Bench, Zimmerman, and Musial are correct. Albert Pujols wound up just six HRs shy of Musial's StL total.
This leaves just one more who fits the conditions of most franchise HRs and all on one team.
