That makes sense because he started in the mid 50s and the HR he hit could have been early in his career. Still weird to me that there were so few HR by pitchers to that point, even if you start in 1920 and omit the deadball era that's what, 150 per DECADE? 15 per year. So roughly 1 per team per year.
