Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig 1927 off Boston Red Sox pitchers
Gleyber Torres and Gary Sanchez 2019 off Baltimore pitchers
Ruth and Gehrig had an epic home run race in 1927, similar to that of Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris in 1961. Ruth and Gehrig were tied at 45 in early September 1927. They finished 60-47. Ruth, who had set the career record for home runs in the 1921 season, set the season record for the fourth and final time in 1927 as he broke his own record for the third time, the first with Yankee Stadium as his home ballpark:
1919 29 HR Fenway Park as a Red Sox
1920 54 HR Polo Grounds as a Yankee
1921 59 HR Polo Grounds as a Yankee
1927 60 HR Yankee Stadium as a Yankee
Through the final Orioles game yesterday:
Torres 26 HR, 13 against Orioles
Sanchez 26 HR, 10 against Orioles
Torres and Sanchez had many fewer AB against the Orioles than Ruth and Gehrig had against the Red Sox.
