Hard Hitting Managers

[Ubiquitous]

Which franchise's managers hit the most home runs as players in their careers?

Please also name the total amount.

[EdTarbusz]

I would guess that the second incarnation of the Washington Senators has to be close to the top.

[Brooklyn]

I'd guess Baltimore.

[Brooklyn]

Baltimore / St. Louis had:

Frank Robinson - 586
Lee Mazzilii - 93
Mike Hargrove - 80
Davey Johnson - 136
Johnny Oates - 14
Joe Altobelli - 5
Hank Bauer - 164
Billy Hitchcock - 5
Paul Richards - 15
Lum Harris - 1
Jimmie Dykes - 108
Marty Marion - 36
Rogers Horbsby - 301
Zack Taylor - 9
Muddy Ruel - 4
Luke Sewell - 20
Fred Haney - 8
Gabby Street - 2
Ski Melillo - 22
Jim bottomley - 219
Bill Killefer - 4
George Silser - 102
Jimmy Austin - 13
Jimmy Burke -1
Fielder Jones - 21
Branch Rickey - 3
George Stovall - 15
Bobby Wallace - 34
Jack O'Connor - 19
Jimmy McAleer - 12

If I added right and have no typos that is 2,053

[Brooklyn]

I missed Hugh Duffy in 1901 with Milwuakee. He hit 106 to increase the total to 2,159

Without doing a lot of research, I'll guess that it has to be the New York/San Francisco Giants. They've had Frank Robinson-586, Mel Ott-511, Rogers Hornsby-300, Dusty Baker-242, Felipe Alou-206. That's 1845 among 5 guys. Bill Terry also managed the Giants, and about a hundered other guys.

I can't think of any other franchise which has had as many big HR guys.

Baltimore is wrong.

I have them as 5th with 2,157 homers.

I can't think of any other franchise which has had as many big HR guys.Alvin Dark 126. Even Buck Ewing & George Davis chipped in over 70 HR each

[RuthMayBond]

Washington Senators/Texas Rangers didn't do too bad.
Ted Williams, Gil Hodges, Mickey Vernon, Toby Harrah, Doug Rader ...

[BigRon]

Okay, partial research on the Giants

FRobinson 586
Ott 511
Hornsby 301
Dusty Baker 242
Felipe Alou 206
Bill Terry 154
Al Dark 126
Cap Anson 97
Wes Westrum 96
Jim Davenport 77
George Davis 73
Buck Ewing 71
Bill Rigney 41
Durocher 24
Herman Franks 3

Total 2608

And, there were a few others- I haven't dug them all out- will leave that to somebody else.
