Default Thursday Trivia: The hot corner
Trivia Time!

Name the three players in MLB history who scored the most runs in a season while appearing in at least 50 games at third base in that same season.

Or, put another way:

On the all-time list of most runs scored in a single season by any player (not just the most by any player in a particular season), which are the top three accomplished by players who played at least 50 games at 3B in the year they scored all those runs?

Solid guesses but none of the three have been named yet.

Hint #1: All three happened Pre-WWII.

Boggs didn't lead the majors in Runs in 1988 or '89?

He did - I just realized my wording of the question left some ambiguity, so apologies if it was misunderstood. What I am looking for is - phrased in a different way:

On the all-time list of most runs scored in a single season by any player (not just the most by any player in a particular season), which are the top three accomplished by players who played at least 50 games at 3B in the year they scored all those runs.

I hope that's clearer....?

No for these guys too. See my clarified post above if the initial question wasn't clear.

Most runs in a season during the deadball era, well that is surprising. Home Run Baker. George Davis. John McGraw.

McGraw is correct! He is #2. He scored 156 runs with Baltimore in 1894. Still looking for the others...

He did, but not in the seasons where he scored the most runs.

His high for runs scored was 151 in 1932 but he only played 13 games at third that year.

Hint #3:

Of the two remaining answers, one accomplished this before McGraw's season (pre-1894) and the other after (post-1900).

Hint #4: One of these guys did it for a team that lost in the world series. The other's team did not even win the pennant.

Default the two remaining answers
#1 is Arlie Latham. He scored 163 runs for the St. Louis Browns in 1887. I'm surprised nobody guessed this one.

#3 I wouldn't have guessed myself - it's Woody English, who scored 152 runs for the Cubs in 1930.

(Latham also scored 152 in 1886, the year the Browns won the world series.)
