Question #105:

Same thing, but for pitchers and wins.

(The pitcher with the most career wins who was never the active leader)

Question #105....since 1925 what player (He is a HOFer) ended his career with the  FEWEST career HR to have once been the active career HR leader?

Gaylord was the active leader from '78 to' 83.

Right era, though.

Ooh, that's a good guess.

Knowing how this thread has gone, I'm going with the thread MVP: Eddie Murray.

There it is.

Same number of wins as Ryan, but Gaylord and Carlton were always ahead during the relevant years.

Ott?

DiMaggio?

Mize?

Mize wins the answer just 2 under DiMaggio for his career. When DiMaggio led in 1948 he was under 300 career HR

Very Interesting.

Dwight Evans the only eligible NON HOFer to have been an active HR leader....and he was in parts of 2 seasons.

That's a fun tidbit.  I know his name, but I never would have guessed that.

Question #107

Since 1921 10 different MLB players held the title of active career HR leader during 5 or more seasons (could be partial seasons...ex May of 1978 player A was the active career HR leader but player B passed him  and never looked back that season. Player A and player B would both get credit for being the active leader during that season.

Name those 10 players

Winfield

Williams

Musial

Ruth

Ruth 15

Foxx 5 (sat out 1943 or would’ve been 6)

Eddie fucking Murray tied Evans at end of 1990 with 379, passed him in 91...then was passed to end 91....regained it in 1995-97

Arod 6

Oh, for some reason, I was thinking BA.
