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

There it is.

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

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

I took a stab with Cobb.  I knew it was a longshot.

Winfield 5 passed Murray in 91, held it 92-94 and Murray passed him back in 1995
