  • You have to go back to the dead-ball ERA. Records there are uncertain, but Ed Killian of Detroit (AL) allowed no home-runs in 794.2 innings pitched during the 1904-1906 seasons. Given he allowed only one in 1903 and two in 1907, the odds are he was well over 800 innings between homers. Similarly, in the NL, Frank Corridon pitched 653.1 innings in three homerless seasons for the Phillies between 1907-1909, with two and one in the bookending years.
