Frosty Kennedy was the last minor league player to hit 60 homers. He did it on the last at bat in the last game of a 144 game season. He was one of three players to hit 60 or more in 1956. Roger Maris hit 61 in 1961 in the major's, his record lasted 38 years until the steroids took over the game.
In 1956 Frosty was 1 of 9 minor league players and 1 of only 11 players to have ever hit 60 homers in Organized Baseball. The steroid use at the turn of the century has raised the total to 14 players who have hit 60 or more homers in one season.
