Player Biography
Roger Connor was the 19th century’s home run king and an above average defensive first baseman. His 138 career homers established a major league record surpassed by Babe Ruth in 1921. Connor hit 10 or more home runs seven times (a 19th century record), once hit three homers in a game (May 9, 1888) and was the first ballplayer to hit an over-the-wall home run at the Polo Grounds in New York. The slugging first sacker bested the .300 mark in 11 seasons and once garnered six hits in as many at-bats.
