Home runs leader numbers were still in vogue in NL.....Willie Stargell, always threat to go deep for nearly a decade since starting in ....Stargell enters a three year prime with NL leading 48 dingers....Pops would place fifth in 1972, and take the crown again in 1973....Hank Aaron’s 47 represents a personal best for the all time home run king....The Hammer had previously claimed three HR crowns in 1957, 1963, and 1966....Another personal best, Lee May registered 39 bombs....possibly the only bright spot at the plate for the underachieving Reds....Got traded to Houston and oh so difficult power alleys of the Astrodome....while his numbers still made top ten would never hit over 29 dingers again.
