    Who am I?

    I played for 17 seasons before my death at 35. I hit more than 900 homeruns, appeared in 9 All-star games, and I hit 84 homeruns in one season. My team won 9 consecutive championships.

    I was elected to the National Baseball Hall Of Fame in 1972.

    Who am I?

    Has his home run total ever been proven?

    My first thought(Josh Gibson).

    The other HR King outside of MLB was Sadarhara Oh with 8 hundred something in Japan. He is a manager over there.

    You got that right. I didn't know he died so young though.

    Man I knew that one. I was ready to say it but you beat me to it .

    Gibson is one of my favorite players of all time. If I had to choose any catcher I woudl take him.
    I aim to try

    No it is not proven but he hit a shitload of them. Negro league records are shaky unfortunately. It would be great to see how many homers Josh had and how many wins Satchel had.
