Early Year Home Runs
Every so often I peruse baseball facts after I play a session of my dynasty. I am currently in 1879 and the beginning of the up tick in homer run hitters. So I was curious on who hit the most home runs in 1879 and I came accosts this interesting article on the homer runs in the late 19th Century. Baseball?s First Power Surge: Home Runs in the Late 19th-Century Major Leagues | Society for American Baseball Research. So I went back and looked at my home runs hit since I restarted with version 17.
1871: 17 (AL) 23 (NL) 40 1872: 22 (AL) 28 (NL) 50 1873: 16 (AL) 25 (NL) 41 1874: 29 (AL) 23 (NL) 52 1875: 9 (AL) 19 (NL) 28 1876: 23 (AL) 19 (NL) 42 1877: 27 (AL) 12 (NL) 39 1878: 26 (AL) 12 (NL) 38 ![]() Source: Supplement to "Baseball's First Power Surge: Home Runs in the Late 19th-Century Major Leagues" | Society for American Baseball Research
