Richard--Not so quick with that Ott answer. For someone with over 50 hrs, for example, Ned Williamson, the single season HR leader before Babe Ruth, hit 57/64 at home.

My question was for the greatest number of home runs disparity not the percentage disparity. Sorry, if I made that unclear.
Mientkiewicz played for both teams, but he is not the answer.

? He played briefly for the Yankees at the end of his career.

My last guess:

Ricky Ledee???

John Olerud one of my favorite all time Mets is not the answer.
Neither is Ricky Ledee.

I lied when I said that was my last guess.

THIS is my last guess (which makes "Ricky Ledee" my penultimate guess.):

Miguel Cairo?

Mientkiewicz caught that toss from the pitcher in 2004 that ended the WS with a Boston sweep... I was there, a Cardinals fan, to witness the loss. The Sox fans present were reverent as they watched the on field celebration. Mientkiewicz kept the ball, the Sox were mad about that and wanted it, MLB said he could keep it. I think it traveled around with the Championship trophy, and then made its way to Cooperstown. I suspect Mientkiewicz may well still own the ball.
