    no. he hit 31 for his career

    just a few facts about this guy that i doubt anyone will guess

    debuted at 16 for Brooklyn in 1944. hit his first HR the next year at 17. retired at age 25

    played for the dodgers, phillies and cubs

    his first HR was the only run scored by the dodgers that day, an 11-1 loss to the pirates at ebbets field
