Single Season HR leader before Ruth

[imgreat95]

Prior to the 1919 season when Babe Ruth hit 29 home runs, who was the single season record holder for most home runs hit?

Ned Williamson with 27 in 1884......

well James, techically, you are correct. I guess I should have said since the "modern era" began in 1900.

Well post 1900's, was it Gavvy Cravath with 24 in 1915??
