I had no idea what the answer was, but after doing some searching, I actually found 2 players with 25 home runs in their rookie season prior to Wally Berger hitting 38 in 1930. I am not familiar with either player. The other player I found played for Detroit.

Del Bissonette of the Dodgers in 1928. Jay- I'll have to look again and find the Detroit player. In 1899, Buck Freeman hit 25 in his first full season- but he had 139 PAs prior to that, which would exclude him even in the longer modern season. .

Freeman was not Detroit. What a weird fluke, nobody hit that many again for two decades.

DALE 'freakin' ALEXANDER - Hard to believe I missed him. He had one of the greatest rookie seasons of all-time in 1929, when he tied Bissonette's rookie record with 25 of his own...along with 137 rbis and a nice .343 BA.
I missed him because I was checking the yearly top-10, and, in 1929, #10 had 31. Ball was juiced? .
