I don't want to play "stump the expert."

Question
What non-pitcher in the Hall of Fame has the fewest career home runs?

Answer
Hi Chris,

I would have thought it would have been an infielder, but it was not: it's Ray Schalk, a catcher for the White Sox, during the second two decades of the 20th century, who hit only 11 career home runs. (One more than Johnny Evers, of "Tinker to Evers to Chance.") Schalk was the catcher on the famous 1919 "Black Sox" team.
