Can you name the ONLY hitter to hit 15 or more homeruns
each year during 1942 to 1947 in the major leagues?

:loud: I :read: too fast - - I saw the 6 HRs in 1947 (with the Bosox) and didn't realize it was a partial total.

Rudy York the correct answer.
Fact was the poor quality of the balls during the war,
I believe it was the rubber in the balls made at that time.
