Strangely, Billy Williams also hit one that day (#422) and he also had exactly 4 more in his career.


Regarding Stanton -

At this point in the season in 1961, Maris had hit 58, and Mantle 53.

At this point in the 1927 season, Ruth had hit 57.
Even stranger, Doug - I just finished doing the exact analysis that you did and was about to post when I read yours!

I will never forgive you.
