I will give the answer so someone can take over.
Jim Gentile 1961 Baltimore Orioles Hit 46 HRs.
Story was as Maris and Mantle were fighting it out for the HR crown and the record ,Jim Gentile was also having a great year. In his contract it was written that Jim was intitled to a bonus of 5000 dollars if he finished first in the RBI lead. Maris finished with 142, Jim with 141. Many years later it was determinded that 1 of Rogers rbis had scored on an error. So jim had finished tied for the rbi lead. The orioles made good on thier word many years later by having a Jim Gentile night and giving him a check for the 5000 dollars I believe some 25+years later that he had won for the rbi title.
