Who was the first foreign-born player to lead the MLB (1901-) in home runs?
Bonus: What team did this player play for?
Double Bonus: How many home runs did he hit?

I had to use baseball reference, so I'll bow out of this one. What amazed me was who was second and when it was!

Larry Walker, Rockies, 49

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster. |

Only because I want to ask a question. I've given you all plenty of time to get this one.
1907 - Dave Brain - Boston Braves - 10 HRs (born 1/24/1879 - Hereford, UK)
The 2nd non-US-born player to lead was Ben Oglivie (1980 Milwaukee Brewers - co-leader with Reggie Jackson with 41 - born 2/11/1949 in Colon, Panama). It took 73 years before someone else not from the US (or PR) led in HRs.
Correct, sir?

In what year did we see Walter Johnson passed for most strikeouts?
Bonus questions: How many pitchers did it that year? Who was the first to do it that year?

Wasn't it 1983? I thought Carlton did it first, then Ryan passed him. I want to say Perry did it also.
