Ned Williamson, the single-season HR King before Ruth. He held the record of 27 HR's for 35 years - one year longer than Ruth's 60 stood. Another is Chief Owen Wilson, who still holds the single-season triples record at 36. Wish the present day game lent itself to someone challenging that one.
As for a great modern day named player: How about Stubby Clap? Played for the Cards in the late 1990's.
