This pastoral era of baseball began with the big guy, W H Taft, tossin' out
the first pitch and ended with K M
Landis throwin' out the Black Sox....
During this decadent decade, which slugger accumulated the most home runs ?

Gavvy Cravath is the one with 116 dingers from 1910-1919 ! Interestingly enough, Ty Cobb had 160 triples during that same span.. The only other time this phenomenon occurred was in the previous
decade - who were the players involved ?

How about Harry Davis for homeruns and Sam Crawford for most Triples?

I think its Sam Crawford for triples and I'll try Harry Davis for Homeruns.

Guess I was a little late! LOL

You're both right ! Harry Davis had
66 jacks and Sam Crawford legged out 169
three-baggers. Can't sneak anything past
you fellas - good work !
