Default More Tuesday Trivia: This is WAR

Of the fifty greatest individual seasons since 1876 according to baseball reference WAR, five of them were accomplished by players who did not throw a pitch in that season. Name the players and the seasons.

There are four players on the list because one of them is on there for two different seasons.

My first thoughts went to Babe Ruth and Rogers Hornsby

Those are both right! Can you name the years? (Ruth is the one on the list twice)

Ruth's best year was 1921, but I think he was still pitching then. So 1922 and 1927?

I will also guess Barry Bonds the year he had 73 home runs. And how about Gehrig in 1927 too?

1922 is not among Ruth's seasons in the top 50.

Bonds is correct! His 2001 season, in which he hit 73 HRs, is tied for 45th on the single-season WAR leaderboard.

1927 is indeed one of Ruth's seasons that makes the cut, at #27 on the leaderboard.

Gehrig's 1927 is actually #51, so great guess but no.

I could be way off, but my guess for Hornsby would be 1924.

I don't know the year, but another infielder that comes to mind is Honus Wagner.

You got it! Hornsby's 1924 season is tied for #38 on the leaderboard.

Wagner did not make the cut.

Still looking for Ruth's other non-pitching season and one other name not yet mentioned...

I think 1923 is the other year for Ruth.

Correct! Ruth's 1923 ranks 15th on the leaderboard.

Now we're just missing one player and season.

I think it's a triple crown winner. Maybe Yaz in '66 or '68 or whenever he did it.
I think Yastrzemski is a better fielder than the other triple crown winners.

If it's his Triple Crown year, it's 1967.

You guys got it! Yaz's 1967 season is tied for 34th on the leaderboard. Well done!
