In the November issue of Baseball Digest, you have Harmon Killebrew as the all-time, one-season, home run leader among third basemen with 49 in 1969.

I believe Mike Schmidt with 48 home runs in 1980 should be the leader.

Did Killebrew play third base while hitting all 49 of his homers that year, or did he play a few games at another position?

Also, you listed Johnny Bench as tops among catchers with 45 home runs in 1970. I think he played at another position where he hit some of his homers that year.

In those charts for season batting leaders for each position, we listed the following qualification: Players must have played at least 100 games at the particular position in which he was listed.

In 1969, Killebrew played 105 games for the Twins at third base. In 1970, Bench caught 140 games for the Reds.
