Question
Let's see if you get this one.  We all know Babe Ruth beat Roger Connor to take the lead in career home runs.  Connor finished with 138.  Who held the record before Connor?

Answer
Hi David,

Thanks for writing.

make that question a snap!

Harry Stovey held the home run record at 122 before Roger Connor took the lead.

Best Wishes,

Geoff
