It's not who you think

Who is the only player to hit more than 75 home runs as a Yankee and as a Red Sox in his career?

Wild guess -- Jackie Jensen?

Wild guess -- Jackie Jensen? Jackie hit 170 homers with Boston but only 9 with the Yankees.

UC, I just trolled the SBE and found that 34 Red Sox players have hit 75 or more HR's for that franchise. I then found the 42 players who have hit 75 or more HR's for the Yankees. Then I matched the lists. There is not a lot of cross pollination here. In fact I could find none.

Ruth's 49 HR's as a Red Sox and 600+ as a Yankee was the best I could do.

Ruth's 49 HR's as a Red Sox and 600+ as a Yankee was the best I could do. OK, my first question and I botched it up. I meant to say the only player to have more than 50 career home runs for both teams. Sorry for the confusion. I can't edit my original question now.

And yes Ruth was close but there is one player who had over 50 for each team.

Mike Stanley?

Mike Stanley? That's the answer I was looking for. Mike had 72 for the Yankees and 73 for the Sox. His approximity to 75 had me momentarily confused. Again I apoligize for messing up the original question.

Don't sweat it, UC, we all botch up questions now and then.

Don't sweat it, UC, we all botch up questions now and then.

And some of us botch the answers almost all the time. :D
