Mike, your 'findings' always have me looking in the record books because something just doesn't sound right.
Home Run Baker does not have any home run records.
During the dead ball era Harry (poor guy with no cool nickname) Davis also had four consecutive home run titles. Davis only hit 38 home runs during his reign of terror.
Both were eclipsed later by Ruth having six titles and 11 of 13 during his hey day.
Even that was bettered later by Ralph Kiner who put together a streak of seven home run titles from 1946- 52. Amazing really, since all players had returned from World War II and most teams were playing at full strength.
For all the pomp and circumstance Bonds receives for being the steroid poster boy, he only led the league in home runs twice, and just one of those titles came at the heigth of the 'juice era'.
A footnote, a scientist during the day calculated how fast Walter Johnson threw a fastball by using a stopwatch to time how long the ball took from leaving his hand to arriving in the catchers mitt. He did the math in feet per second and came up with 91 mph. Correction, Doughy, he does. Check your sources this time. From 1911-1914, Frank "Homerun" Baker led the AL in homeruns with the numbers I posted. See baseball-reference.com And winning any future titles with as few as nine round-trippers in a season (unless there's another strike less than a month into a season), is never going to happen again. :rolleyes: You don't earn the nickname, "Homerun", for nothin'
Also wasn't trying to insinuate that a streak of four titles in a row was unbreakable or hadn't been broken; just the number of homeruns it took to do it four times in a row...Your boy, Harry Davis, did have four homerun titles in a row as well from 1904-1907 with the "mammoth" total of 38 over that time span...

Good to go, Mike.
I thought you were talking consecutive home run titles.
As far as low numbered leaders, Dom DiMaggio's league leading 15 stolen bases in 1950 will probably never be 'bettered' as well.
