As a rookie in 1935 Charlie Keller set the record for most home runs by a rookie, 28, which has since been broken. This year Keller led all players with 32 home runs, giving him 109 for his career at the age of 22.
It was just last year where I talked about Mel Ott's durability, and of course this year Ott goes down with an injury that caused him to miss most of the year, hitting just 3 home runs.
