One year four future Hall-of-Famers were either first or second in the Majors in homeruns.
Who? When? Not terribly difficult (certainly not up to Frank's standards), but I thought it was fun to see. .

If I'm understanding the question correctly, I think it is 1948 when Johnny Mize and and Ralph Kiner tied for the league lead with 40, and DiMaggio and Musial tied with 39 Home Runs?

That is not the only year it happened. In 1929 the top 4 in both leagues were future Hofers. Ruth, Gehrig, Simmons and Foxx in the AL. Klein, Ott, Hornsby and Wilson in the NL.

I could be wrong, but I think the purpose of the question was to highlight that in 1948 the top two tied (with 40 HRs) and the next two also tied (with 39). I don't know if the ties at to the top has happened before, especially with all Hall of Famers.
