Continuation of previous post:

Home Runs Times Facing Opponent: Ruth, Maris, Bonds, ... Monday, July 8, 2019

Times Facing Opponent in Game for season home run record holders Babe Ruth, Roger Maris, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa (held record during 1998), Barry Bonds ... and Joe DiMaggio...

DiMaggio was included with the record breakers because of the very high percent of his home runs hit against starting pitchers facing them the third and fourth time in a game.

baseball-reference.com shows vs. ?P for 23 of DiMaggio's 1937 at bats (AB) that are not classified in these starting/relief pitcher categories. However, he hit no home runs in those 23 AB. His total AB were 621, not 598. But there is a further discrepancy: DiMaggio's starting/relief AB add up to 579, not even 598, for a discrepancy of 42 AB.

Ruth (16) and Maris (11) also have the discrepancies shown in the table above but there is no indication of that in the original tables in baseball-reference.com as there is for DiMaggio.

The next two tables below use the AB details and incorrect totals, which have discrepancies for Ruth, Maris and DiMaggio.
