    No on Adcock and Klu.

    One of the answers teammates ranks second on the 1950s list.

    The Baron with the gold. Duke hit 326 homers between 1950-59, despite playing in a very inhospitable ballpark in LA, on a very bad knee, in 1958 and 1959. He had only 38 homers in those years. Teammate Gil Hodges hit 310 in that span, # 2.

    The New York football Giants will play their 100th season this fall. Who is their all-time leading scorer?

    I'll throw out a random kicker with a cool name, Pete Gogolak.

    Yes it is Pete, 646 points. He played for the Giants from 1967-74, when they pretty much stunk. Hard to believe no one has surpassed him.

    Wild guess, he's the first Giants kicker who came to mind.

    I was trying to find out if every NFL team's leading scorer is a kicker, but I couldn't find a team-by-team list. I would assume so.
