more of a question.

what is the closet any player has ever gotten to hitting as many home runs as his team won or lost their games.

the reason i ask, Adam Dunn's year.

the example would be.

If Dunn had hit 50 homers, but the Nationals only won 58 games....he would be 8 games off..

or if the Nats had only lost 58 games, what is the closest anyone has ever gotten?
