- NYN's Pep DeLuca? - who had 36 HR last year
- SD's Sixto Lezcano? - who set the Rookie record two years ago, with 37 HR
It certainly won't be one of my players - not with my cavernous stadium.
The 40 HR Barrier

No hitter in our league has hit 40 HR since 1998 (Washington's Ozzie Bryan). Perhaps a slugger will reach that plateau this year - ? Maybe....- NYN's Pep DeLuca? - who had 36 HR last year
- SD's Sixto Lezcano? - who set the Rookie record two years ago, with 37 HR
It certainly won't be one of my players - not with my cavernous stadium.

I wasn't aware Sixto set the rookie mark for homers. Thanks for that info. Balboa Park does have a deep centerfield wall, but here's hoping. Best of luck to Pep too.

Wouldja believe I drafted him 6th? He went on to have 100 RBI and 100 runs in each of his first 15 seasons, and had 30+ HR in 13 of those 15.
Nowadays ABE hardly puts out any good players (esp. hitters), so the pitchers eat up the weak hitters for breakfast.

Yup, one of my old guys had the old record - Bobby Shaftoe:http://simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=2366504

Sixto Lezcano very likely also has the record for most HR in his first two seasons with 68 (Shaftoe only hit 23 his 2nd year, so he had 59 his first two campaigns).

Shaftoe was a monster. If Sixto can keep this up for 15 more years, he might be able to compare himself to Bobby.

[url=http://simdynasty.com/player.jsp?mode=player&playername=nobody&id=8480842]Pep[/url] is a left-handed batter playing in a mid-sized ballpark, but one that favors left-handed power hitters. He also made improvements to his power ratings in the OS so he's got a good shot at it. I suspect [url=http://simdynasty.com/player.jsp?mode=player&playername=nobody&id=8480834]Ed Hornung[/url] may eclipse the 40-HR mark at some point during his career as well. But as we all know, it's not up to us but the Big ABE in the SimD sky. :D

Hot on his heels was teammate [url=http://simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=8480834]Ed Hornung[/url], who finished with 39. It was a landmark season for Hornung, who also knocked in 152 runs.
