Who broke Babe Ruths record for home runs in a single season?

The all-time home run leader before Babe Ruth was Roger Connor, a first baseman who played for several teams in the NL between 1880-1897. Conner hit 138 home runs in his career. Ruth hit his 139th home run and passed Connor on July 18, 1921. Before Babe Ruth came along, Ned Williamson held the single-season record for most home runs with 27 in 1884. He never hit more than 9 in any other season. In 1894 he was voted the best player of all time by several old baseball players.


Who has the Second most home runs all time?

Babe Ruth- 714 is really #2. Hank Aaron has 755 and should be #1, but Barry Bonds**** has 762 but he used steroids. In my mind and the mind of all MLB fans, Bonds, Sosa, McGwire, Canseco, etc. records are all shattered and never happened.

Did Jim Catfish Hunter play college baseball?

No. Jim Hunter pitched at Perquimans High School in North Carolina, attracted interest from several major league clubs, and signed with Charlie Finley's A's in 1964, at the age of 18. Not only did Hunter never play college ball, he never pitched in the minor leagues, either. Read "October Men" by Roger Kahn for more on Hunter, and the 1970s Yankees.

Who signed a baseball with a x when asked by a man at a Yankees game in 1950s?

Many years ago, I heard a story on WGN Radio that Roger Maris once signed a ball for a kid with an "X" to see what the boy's reaction would be - intending to give him a real signature after the kid saw the X and said "Hey, what the heck?" But Maris never got to see the kid's face … because he ran off before looking at it and Maris never had a chance to change his signature.
