York had a cup of coffee with Detroit in 1934, and he returned to stay in 1937, with a 35 Home Run year, which was a number that would be a career-high. Eighteen of those taters took place in a month, breaking Babe Ruth’s record. York continued to blast homers, winning the Home Run Title with 34 in 1943, while also leading the American League in Runs Batted In (118). York finished third in MVP voting that year, and he had eight other seasons where he received an MVP vote.
The seven-time All-Star also played for Boston, Chicago (AL), and Philadelphia (AL), and he had 277 career Home Runs.
