Zach Wheat in 1918. (It was my first guess, I checked, and I'm right :))Quote:

And for gosens question: Gavvy Cravath in 1918
He did lead the NL in homers with 8, but ALers Babe Ruth and Tilly Walker hit 11. Who was the last to lead all of Major League Baseball with less than 10 homers?Quote:

Name the guy and the team.
Davey Johnson of the 1969 Orioles flew out and lost the World Series to the Mets. Then managed the 1986 Mets to the title

You can check the year's before, they all have IBBs
I guess I'll ask one:
Name 3 players with unique initials (as in, no other MLB player has ever shared their initials). There are 57 such players.
what about stuff like Ken Griffey Jr. Do we count the Jr part, or no?
Jorge De La Rosa?
