Only in the 70s and 80s. That's going to be tough for me.

One is easy and one takes more thought....several are close but just played in 60’s or 90’s

Reggie Jackson played in the 60s.

Yes...1972-89 548 HR

So damn impressive during a time where only George Foster hit 50 in a season and often 40 would lead the league

Mike Schmidt started in1972 and ended in 1989. So that is one.

I'm looking at the baseball-reference 2019 MLB standings section on their homepage thinking through each team in order trying to figure out big boppers that played for each team. It lead me to Schmidt immediately. I'm having trouble thinking of another.

Question #3

These two HOFers are back to back on the all-time career HR list. The player on top never hit 40+ HR in a season, the player right below him hit 40+ HR 5x.

Name them.

Ted Williams didn't have many high-number seasons. Could be an option for the first answer.
