are there any major league ball players that have homered both before the age of 20 and after the age of 40?

Question

thank you for the Hall of Fame lead.....Al Kaline and Ty Cobb...sound right?

Answer 1

Hank Aaron homered at the age of 20 and his final homerun came at the age of 42, This is a tough question to research and you can find it by looking at bio's in the baseball hall of fame website. Today's players will not likely accomplish this due to the fact that they spend a good portion of their early twenties developing in the minors, It would be tough to find a player hitting a HR at 19 on a major league team.

Answer 2

Rusty Staub and Ty Cobb are the only players to homer before age 20 and after age 40.

Staub hit his first homer on June 3, 1963 off Don Drysdale and on September 25, 1984 to become the second to hit homers before 20 after 40 while Ty Cobb hit his first (inside the park) in September 23, 1905 off Cy Falkenberg and hit 5 homers in 1927 when he was 40 years old

Answer 3

Yes, A-Rod has done it. Alex Rodriguez, born July 27, 1975, hit his first major league home run for the Seattle Mariners at age 19, on Jun 12, 1995, off of Kansas City's Tom Gordon. A-Rod has hit 14 homers since turning 40, including nine during the final two months of the 2015 season, and five so far in 2016, as of this writing (May 7).

Answer 4

The ones I can find for sure (going through Baseball Reference's list of longest careers):

- Ty Cobb: hit 2 HR before he turned 20 and 6 after he turned 40
- Rusty Staub: 6 before 20, 2 after 40\

There are a couple others that may have - Rogers Hornsby, Willie Mays, and Brooks Robinson - but I can't tell for sure because their 20th or 40th birthdays were during the seasons they got their first or last home runs.

Answer 5

Of course. Andruw Jones of the Braves hold the World Series record for the youngest. As a matter of fact, in the 1996, he hit two home run at the age of 19. And Julio Franco will seek to break his record for the oldest player and he is 46 I think.

Answer 6

Other than Hank, I don't know of any.
2 that may have a shot - Griffey, Jr but he would have to make it to 2010 hit his first at 19. Andruw Jones also hit his first at 19 and has 10 years to go.

Answer 7

Here's a surprise:
Rusty Staub did it, age 19 and 41 I think.

Brooks Robinson may have also.

Answer 8

i might in all probability want the championships, in spite of the actuality that the hall of attractiveness profession gets you paid extra. the sadness of dropping eats away at you for the time of your profession, whether you're a hall of famer or a functionality participant. no longer getting inducted into the hall does not come into play till a minimum of five years after retirement.
