On July 18th, 1921, Babe Ruth hit the 139rd home run of his career. This moved Babe Ruth in front of Roger Connor as the all-time MLB home run leader. As mentioned above, Connor's home run total was thought to be 131, then 136, until 138 was figured to be the correct number in the 70s, so no one knew at the time that he had broken the record on this day.
