What 2001 Babe Ruth Hall of Fame 500 Home run card is worth
Ty Cobb of the Detroit Tigers lead the American League in home runs with 9 in 1909, all were "inside-the-park" homers.
No, and I really don't see any reason why he should be. His career BA was .265 and he hit a mere 200 home runs and 1195 hits overall.
Mel Ott had 115 home runs and Ed Mathews had 112.
That was Hall of Famer Hack Wilson who, at 5'6", hit 56 home runs for the 1930 Chicago Cubs.
Steve Garvey is a borderline Baseball Hall of Fame candidate. He was considered a power hitter but he only accumulated 272 Home Runs. Though his batting average .294 and was over .300 for much of his career, he also had 2599 hits, and 1308 RBI. His 1974 National League MVP and 1981 World series win will probably help him to be voted into the Hall of Fame.
As of the start of the 2008 season, the MLB pitcher who gave up the most home runs is Hall of Famer Robin Roberts with 505. Hall of Famer Fergie Jenkins is second at 484 and Hall of Famer Phil Niekro is third at 482.
Probably not. The stats are simply not there. He was a starter for only eight seasons, and was a mere .266 career hitter. He hit 34 home runs and stole 73 bases for his ENTIRE CAREER. In his BEST season, he had 99 runs scored and 59 RBIs. His career fielding at second base places him 53rd in games played, 54th in putouts, 78th in assists, and 31st in double plays. He was eligible for election to the Hall of Fame for three years, and the HIGHEST vote total he got from the BBWAA was 2% -- something I won't disagree with. Richardson's story is inspiring, and he had a good career. But it wasn't Hall of Fame caliber by any means.
