One of the Deans? A Martinez?

I am assuming the HR was hit by a pitcher…

Heyyy, I got one

 

[Cedrique]

Homer.



lol. I wouldn’t have got it if Gannon didn’t say he was MVP.

Jimmy Rollins only hit 30 that one year…

He was a 5'7" shortstop. You're gonna knock him for only hitting 30 home runs once? He could have had more that year if he wanted to but he was busy hitting 20 triples.

Was it a Niekro brother?

Who is the only to player to have one career home run, that came off his brother?

I know there are other players with one career home run though. Position players like Duane Kuiper.

Gonna go look up if there's others.

I guess there are a few but gotta pick a reasonable number of at bats to call it a career. Of players who had 2500+ at bats the only ones to hit just one HR are Kuiper, Dave Force, and Emil Verhan

The only player with 2000+ ABs to hit zero HRs was a guy in the 1880s, William Holbert

I just make these questions up using statmuse so I don't know the answers going in. This answer isn't going to be a big shock or anything. It happened pretty recently.
