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

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.

Freeman was not Detroit. What a weird fluke, nobody hit that many again for two decades.

DALE 'freakin' ALEXANDER - Hard to believe I missed him. He had one of the greatest rookie seasons of all-time in 1929, when he tied Bissonette's rookie record with 25 of his own...along with 137 rbis and a nice .343 BA.

I missed him because I was checking the yearly top-10, and, in 1929, #10 had 31. Ball was juiced?

That's the other one. There was a lot of offense in the late 20s and early 30s.
