Let's not skip Herbert Hoover (between Coolidge and Roosevelt). It was Ruth with 182.
In fact, Ruth hit 248 dingers during Coolidge's administration. Ruth was also the leader during Harding's brief term, with 119.
Prior to Harding, Gavvy Gravath hit 106 while Wilson was in office, Frank Schulte hit 47 while Taft was there, and Harry Davis was the homer champ during Teddy Roosevelt's terms with 55.
