Babe Ruth......1921
Joe P says......
" I don't give a lot of love to Ruth for 1920-1921 because HRs was really the only category where he was des-
troying people (and teams). At the time it wasn't something people were really going for. Small ball was king."
Tell us what you are smoking ?
Ruth combined "Small Ball" with "Big Ball" in 1921. If the opposition hadn't WALKED him 145 times, who knows
what else Ruth would have accomplished in 1921 ?
Check-out these numbers......
AB's........540
HITs........204
BA......... .378
BB's.........145
HR's..........59
2B's..........44
3B's..........16
Runs........177
RBI..........171
SlAvg...... .846
And, he only struck-out 81 times.
Single season STAT's like these are unequalled in the history of BB.
