....and whose rookie homer record did Berger break?

I had to look it up, but I'll hold off revealing until y'all get a chance.

Nope. Lou had 20 homers in his first full season (1925)

This guy had 25 in his first season.

I'm not coming up with any good guesses for whose Rookie HR record Wally Berger broke--was thinking Bottomley or Hornsby. Any chance you could give us a clue?

CLUE: This guy hit 25 taters playing in New York.

CLUE: Not very many had that many in a season before Berger, but I won't DELve into details about that.


NOT ESPECIALLY A CLUE: You don't hear his name very often.

I thought it might be Bob Meusel based on your clue but looked it up and he hit 24 in his second season. Pretty sure it's not Lazzeri. Can't think of anyone else.

Maybe you mean Giants or Dodgers though, will think on that.

I had no idea what the answer was, but after doing some searching, I actually found 2 players with 25 home runs in their rookie season prior to Wally Berger hitting 38 in 1930. I am not familiar with either player. The other player I found played for Detroit.

Del Bissonette of the Dodgers in 1928.

Jay- I'll have to look again and find the Detroit player.


In 1899, Buck Freeman hit 25 in his first full season- but he had 139 PAs prior to that, which would exclude him even in the longer modern season.
