Trivia question

Mike Dillon said DiMaggio. That is a great guess and he is 2nd. Here
is my blog entry on the subject so you can all see the rankings.

The leader is Ken Williams. But as I point out, DiMaggio hit only 41%
of his HRs at home in his career while Williams hit 72%. So it is
likely the case that DiMaggio would rank first, and probably by a wide
margin, if HRs were park adjusted.

Hank Greenberg is not a correct answer to my question of who had back to back seasons of 40+ HRs and 40+ 2Bs. He did have 2 such seasons but not in a row. Cy...
