Frank "Home Run" Baker, who played for the Philadelphia Athletics from 1908 to 1914 and for the New York Yankees in 1921 and 1922. He hit 96 home runs in his career in the "dead ball" era. IM NOT SURE ABOUT THAT. I THINK THAT THE MOST FAMOUS PLAYER KNOWN FOR HIS HOME RUNS WOULD BE JACKIE ROBINSON. :) The question was the FIRST famous baseball player known for his home runs. Robinson was known for a lot of things, good hitting, base stealing, Rookie of the Year award, but was not famous for his home run hitting, and was not the FIRST famous player known for home run hitting...Remember Babe Ruth played before Robinson, and he was a pretty good home run hitter in his time.
