Eddie Williamson, 1884, of Chicago. He had 27 home runs that year. Ruth broke THAT record in 1919. Of course Ruth went on to elevate that record later: http://www.mindspring.com/~luckyshow/BabeRuthHits28.htm Google search strategy: "Babe Ruth breaks" home run record Best regards, Omnivorous-GA |

The career record for home runs was 136 when Ruth broke it in 1921, which had been held by Roger Connor. http://espn.go.com/classic/s/addruthbabe.html http://www.baseball-almanac.com/players/player.php?p=connoro01 |
