Texas Tiger Trivia Question

I think you'd have trouble using the internet to answer this one:

Two of the top five all-time home-run hitters born in Texas were at some point in their careers Detroit Tigers. Who were they?

In case the question is a bit confusing: rank Texas natives for hitting MLB homers. Two of the top five are Tigers. #1 is Frank Robinson (born in Beaumont) with 586, #2 is Ernie Banks (born in Dallas) with 512, #4 is Adam Dunn (Houston) with 406.

    That's one! Stormin' Norman was born in Justiceburg, TX, and hit 377 homers, good for #5 on the list. The Rangers just acquired Lance Berkman, (born in Waco.) Lance has hit 360, so if he stays healthy and has a decent year, Norm might slip to #6.
    Here's another hint on th other guy: Actually, he's tied for second/third.
