Most Homers Before 1920
Posted by Chris J. on June 17, 2007
Here's a cool thing you can do with the Play Index: create the all-time leaderboard in just about any stat you want for any period of years you want. For example, here's a list of the all-time home run leaders at the time the liveball came into play.
It's easy: just go to PI's Batting Season Finder, in the top yellow bar click on: Find Totals for Matching Seasons or Careers , choose the years you're looking for, the stat, and sort.
It can be for just about anything. It can be something as big as career homers, or as odd as most HBP in the 1890s. It all works.
