Ott Aims to Tie Hack Wilson Pace in 1930s Run
Giants star Mel Ott could tie Hack Wilson’s home run record if he keeps up his current pace. Ott has 14 homers through Wednesday and, with 110 games left, would reach about 58 more, potentially topping Wilson’s mark. His Polo Grounds advantage and occasional benching complicate the calculation, but Ott’s strong eye and recent power surge boost the season total.
