Hal Trosky was the first player to pull off this single season parlay. It would be 25 season later before it happened again. What is "It" and who was the next player to do it?

I'm no good at anagrams, I don't suppose it's 162 RBI year?

I can't imagine this is the correct answer, but his son with an identical name debuted exactly 25 seasons later. Could it be that he was the first player to have a son with the same name play in the Majors?

Jim Bagby debuted in 1912 and his son Jim debuted in 1938. Hal Trosky the younger didn't show up until the 1950's.
Anyway it a performance related thing.

Other players reached that total prior to Trosky.
Forty HRs With Fewer Free Passes (i.e., walks)

That is correct. Now who was the next player to do it?

Wow, very good, s.f.
And good question KC. I'd have to say the next player to do it was Orlando Cepeda?

It was Cepeda in 1961 with 46 HR's and 39 BB's.
