Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Mantle: Home Runs by the same pitcher to 3 of 4.

Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Mantle: no Home Runs against the same pitcher. Tuesday, May 28, 2019

There was no one pitcher who gave up home runs to the Yankees big four...

Note the Yankee overlap:
Ruth 1920-1934
Gehrig 1923-1939
DiMaggio 1936-1951
Mantle 1951-1968 ...

August 15, 1936 in Shibe Park Philadelphia 18 year old rookie pitcher Randy Gumpert gave up the second home run of his career:

HR: Lou Gehrig (36, off Randy Gumpert, 8th inn, 3 on, 1 out to RF); Crosetti Scores; Rolfe Scores; DiMaggio Scores

Obviously Gumpert never even pitched to Ruth but he did give up homers to DiMaggio and number one to Mantle May 1, 1951 in Comiskey Park Chicago:

Mickey Mantle (1, off Randy Gumpert, 6th inn, 1 on, 1 out to RF).

Gumpert's last home run allowed: August 30, 1952 Yankee Stadium:

HR: Mickey Mantle (19, off Randy Gumpert, 3rd inn, 0 on, 0 outs to RF) ...

In their one season as teammates DiMaggio (36) and Mantle (19) did not homer in the same game. They both homered against two pitchers in 1951:
- Lew Kretlow. Both hit two homers off Kretlow, DiMaggio hit both in the same game.
- Dick Starr
