Okay, here's a fairly easy one. A hanging curve, if you will. First one to step up to the plate gets to knock it onto Waveland Avenue.
What player holds the record for most home runs by a catcher? For a bonus point, name both: a) the year he set the record, and b) the number of homers he hit that year.

Anyway, the most he hit was 37, not enough for the record. He technically doesn't even hold the AL record for HR's by a catcher, as he played 28 games at DH, and hit some of his homers there.
It must've been in 94 then. It was I think 2 years before Piazza came to town. He slumped the next year then pouted when the Mets got a real hitting catcher. For some reason, 44 comes to mind.
Jody, Jody Davis. Hits 'em high and far. Jody, Jody Davis. He's a superstar. Holy Cow!!!! http://www.stinkytee.com
Well at least I don't feel quite so stupid now, I was thinking lifetime HR's not single season. I guess I just read it wrong and now my knees hurt too. Any idea how many times BO broke a bat over his knee? Come to think of it, I seem to remember Jim Rice breaking a bat checking his swing one time?
Oh, I'm sorry... that was really not clear in the question. Sorry about that. Carlton Fisk *does* hold the record for lifetime HR's by a catcher, with Johnny Bench holding the NL record.
