Early Playing: Baseball Factoids

Ran across two factoids today:

Mr. Cabrera is on the list of people who hit the most homers by the time they were 30.   What's sort of surprising is two of the people started their major league careers at 17 (Mel Ott and  Jimmie Foxx)  And two of the three top hitters aren't on the list of 12 top hitters at all: Babe Ruth (started off pitching) and Barry Bonds (started off clean). Hat Tip owed, perhaps to Powerline.

And the Texans, who are always biggest, best and first, also were playing baseball before the Civil War, and during.
