Donn Clendenon: could he have hit 50 homers in 1966 playing only on the road? What about all batters with at least 25 road homers but fewer than 50?

Donn Clendenon hit 25 home runs (HR) on the road in 1966 playing for the Pittsburgh Pirates.  By then the short fence in left field that boosted Ralph Kiner to two 50 HR seasons in 1947 and 1949 had been removed.  I examined seasons in which batters hit 50 HR and how they would have done playing only in the road parks.  See this post:

Tuesday, January 21, 2014  50 homers home/road splits. How many would they hit without their home park?

Jimmie Foxx is the big loser and Brady Anderson the big winner...

Obviously, some batters who finished with fewer than 50 HR might boost into the 50s but that is beyond the scope of this post.

Now I will examine batters who hit at least 25 HR on the road but did not hit 50 HR for the season to determine whether playing only on the road they could have reached 50 HR.

Tuesday, January 14, 2014  25 homers home and/or road: the possibility of 50.

Clendenon homered every 90.7 at bats (AB) at home, every 12 AB on the road: 87 percent better on road.  Percent of home HR: 11.
__________________________________________

Clendenon hit only three HR at home for a total of 28, the lowest of any of the 59 seasons with at least 25 HR on the road but fewer than 50 HR for the season.  Next lowest HR total is Matt Williams: 7+25=32 with a whopping 324 at bats (AB) on the road, exceeded in this group only by:
Hank Aaron 329; 19+25=44 1963
Ryan Howard 325; 18+27=45 2009
Jeff Kent 325; 11+26=37 2002

Three with fewer than 250 AB:
Frank Thomas 246 15+25=40  1995
Barry Bonds 215 19+27=46  2002
Ted Williams 214 12+26=38  1957

Most recent:
Miguel Cabrera 2013 17+27=44  AB: 265 home/290 road; projects to 52.

Batters with few road AB are likely to project to >= 50.  So are those who just missed but had at least 25 HR on the road:

Player	Year	Team	HRyear	HRhome	HRroad
Shawn Green	2001	LAN	49	19	30
Larry Walker	1997	COL	49	20	29
Mark McGwire	1987	OAK	49	21	28
Sammy Sosa	2002	CHN	49	24	25
Albert Pujols	2006	SLN	49	24	25
Harmon Killebrew	1962	MIN	48	20	28
Albert Belle	1996	CLE	48	22	26
Adrian Beltre	2004	LAN	48	23	25
Willie Stargell	1971	PIT	48	21	27

So will those with the highest road HR:

Shawn Green	2001	LAN	49	19	30
Eddie Mathews	1953	ML1	47	17	30
