Howard Johnson

On September 24, 1991 — Howard Johnson of the Mets strokes his 37th home run of the season to set a new National League record for switch-hitters, off Bob Walk in New York’s 10 – 8 loss to Pittsburgh at Shea Stadium.

Johnson himself had set the previous mark in 1987. He will finish the year with 38 homers and 117 RBIs, becoming the first switch-hitter to lead the NL in driving home runs.
