Id like to see the 1884 season - the White Stockings bounced back from their record setting homerless season of 1877 to establish the team season HR leadership which would stand until the 1927 Yankees. 43 years!

But wait - Eight pitchers won 40 or more games, 13 pitchers had more than 300Ks, with four over 400.

The team with the shortest longevity (shortgevity?) came and went. The St. Paul Saints .. or were they the Apostles?
Season record 2-6.

I dunno, didn't some of those 40 game winners also win 50+ games, such as Radbourne? Was that the year? Yes, it was.

Was that the year that Heckler led in Wins and HRs? Who cares? I wanna go see that season! Yup, that too was 1884!

What season would you like to see?
