Seaver has it for a while after he passed Sutton but ol Surton held on forever and passed him back with 2 yr remaining

So at some point, Sutton had it.  He was then passed by Perry, Palmer, and Seaver (not sure on the order), and then he reclaimed the active lead?

That's a lot of competition for not of those leads to require anyone retiring.

Question #149:

Of the 27 players in the 500-HR club, only four got there in under 7,000 at-bats.

One of those is Mark McGwire, who holds the record for the fewest at-bats to reach 500 HRs (5,487).

The other three are HOFers.  Who are they?

Ruth is correct for the second-lowest number of at-bats with 5,801.

Matthews is 19th.  Took him 8,280 at-bats to get there.

Griffey is 10th with 7,320.

Wow.  This is a complicated question.  I love those.

We're including the dead-ball era, right?

Billy Hamilton?
Honus Wagner?

Appling?  Cobb?  Pee Wee Reese?

Lofton

Vizquel May have been active leader his last few years?

Lou Brock led for a few years in the '70s.  I don't recall him having too many HRs.

Obviously, it's not Rickey.  I believe he holds the record for the most career game lead-off HRs.
