Good Bye, Mr. Wilson!

by Mike Carminati

With Earl Wilson, who once threw a no-hitter and won 22 games in 1967, passing away the living home run leader for pitchers becomes Bob Gibson (i.e., players who pitched in at least half their career games).

Here are the current living leaders (and Wilson, the erstwhile champ). Mike Hampton is the active leader:

Randy "Don't Call Me Barry" Lerch had only 4 career HRs. It just seemed like more since he had 3 in one season (1978) and there was talk of converting him back into OF, which is what he was signed as, if memory serves.
