Only Two Players Led the League (1969 - 1982) With the Least At-Bats Per Homer and Got a Kellogg's Card

Did you know that from 1969 to 1982 the major league annual leader in AB per HR only appeared on a Kellogg's twice?

Sure, I didn't follow the normal rules to search for players who had a minimum number of plate appearances.  That's part of the fun.

In 1969 Ken Brett had 10 at-bats per home run.  He had 1 homer and 10 at-bats.



In 1976 Craig Reynolds did even better.  He had four at-bats per homer.  Yes, he had one home run in four at-bats that season.

Duane Kuiper had the worst starts of any player during the Kellogg's years.  He hit one homer in 3083 at-bats during this time.  That big hit came off of Steve Stone.  He had 3379 official at-bats in his career.   Kuiper is from Racine, Wisconsin where I will be in a few weeks.

Among regular players in the 1970s, Hank Aaron, Dave Kingman and Mike Schmidt led in this category.  Each had a homer in just over every 14 at-bats from 1969 - 1982.
