Year	Player	HR	Stood for
1996	Russell Branyan	40	still standing
1994	Matt Raleigh	34	2 years
1991	Butch Huskey	26	3 years
1990	Fred Cooley	22	1 year

The earliest marks here are records only in the sense that nobody had done better yet. Season length, schedule and the rules themselves have all changed, so a figure from the 1870s is not comparable with a modern one and is not offered as though it were.
