Babe Ruth, Henry Aaron, Roger Maris, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Barry
Bonds, Joe Hauser. Not that many baseball fans in the country would
recognize that last name on that list of home run hitters, but Joe
"Unser Choe" Hauser was a prolific slugger in the days when minor
league baseball was practically the equivalent of many major league
teams today.
Hauser twice hit more than 60 home runs in a single
season. First, he hit 63 in 1930. He followed that with 69 in 1933 for
Minneapolis of the American Association. The Milwaukee native played
most of his career in the minors, but became a legend in his time.
