This of course would be every offensive catagory: AB, HITS, RUNS, etc.; but mainly - doubles, triples, home runs and stolen bases - in the same year. |

Couldn't find anyone that that has done it, but a lot of players come close, missing in one catagory finishing 2nd in of of them. It almost always HRs where they finished second. PLayers that came close were the usual suspect, Wagner, Cobb, Mays, Mantle, Hornsby and Musial. I didn't know that Musial never won a HR title. |

I guess that I am going to prove my capability for not understanding again here, Judge. But I thought that that statistic only belonged to O'Neil. |

I haven't gotten one of him yet, Judge. It seems that when the one I like comes up, I am short; and when I have some little liquidity, all I see is the crouching pose - which I do not want. |

I've got a couple of the crouching pose O'Neil but I can't seem to locate one with a nice (dark) image in that pose. I did however find a decent one of him batting a few years ago but it wasn't exactly cheap. |

And while we are at it, that Radbourne filler was just a bit too bad for my bid. And yes, he is of interest because he won the most games in a season; but his card to me represents one of the 1884 season which I am commemorating. |

My understanding is that one year, I think 1948, Musial finished one HR behind Kiner... and that Musial had a HR early in a game, that ended up rained out. He lost that HR to the rain, and missed out at the triple crown, because he was the league leader in average and RBIs. |

Frank: Kiner won the HR crown 7 years in a row. What a record! Yes, some years he tied and several of the years he didn't hit that many. But he still has that string which is not approached. |

Cravath was close by leading the league with 6 out of 7 seven years in HRs. But that was at end of the dead ball era. He was third in the year in which the run was broken. Kiner played 10 years and winning (or being tied) the HR title 70% of the time he played is something awesome. |

Really Fred, I knew that Cravath was quite a HR hitter during that period, but I never knew that he was that accomplished. Id better take a closer look at him. Thank you. |

Well there is a new kid in town, if you haven't heard yet. A 26 year old center fielder who has never before been in double digits in stolen bases nor triples: Curtis Granderson has joined this unusual group. |

Cobb came close to joining O'Neil several times. 1911 was the closest he led in every category except HRs where he was 2nd. Cobb never hit over 12 HRs in a season but he did lead the league in 1909 (with 9). In 1911 he also led the league in SBs -- I'm pretty sure O'Neill didn't in 1887 (or any other season). |

Stats were indeed funky in 1887 as walks were counted as hits. I believe, however, that most current statistical resources compute 1887 BAs by todays rules which would make Oneill's .435 legit. By 1887 rules his BA would be about .490. |

It was not just Williamson in 1884, the entire Chicago team set a team/season HR record that was not equalled until the 1927 Yankees. Seven years earlier, in 1877, Chicago set the still standing team/season record for slugging futility with a team total of zero homers for the season (some short lived Union Association teams also went homerless, but they did not play much of a season) |
