Gavvy Cravath was the greatest home run hitter in the history of major league baseball setting season and career home run records not broken until the arrival by the 'Sultan of Swat', Babe Ruth. Gavvy led the NL in home runs 7 different times and set these records, astonishingly, after reaching the majors at the age of 31.
