I'll throw A-Rod out there to. He was on some teams with firepower besides himself.

Maybe somebody you wouldn't think of on one of those old Rockies teams. I'll go Ellis Burks.

Biggio and Bagwell were on some Astros teams with firepower too.

Ted Williams is correct - 150 R in 1949 (#2 on the list)

Both correct!

Biggio is Tied for #4 -146 R in 1997.
Bagwell is #1 - 152 R in 2000.

Lots of other great but incorrect guesses.

Two names still remaining to guess.

Damn, never would have guessed Bagwell. I forgot how much he got on base.

How about another OBP machine who also hit for average.

Wade Boggs?

Good guess but no. Boggs' high for runs scored was 128.

Good guesses but no. 138 was Helton's high and Mantle '56 was 132.

Acuna is right! It was 2023 (his '24 was forgettable due to injury) when he scored 149 R (#3 on the list).

Only one name remaining.
