I don't care what era he played in, or who his teammates were. Those RBI numbers are ridiculous. I understand that the RBI statistic has lost some of its luster (much like average. I think both are now undervalued metrics). But if you're driving in 150 + runs, you're money. Credit goes to the guys who get on base to make that possible, but you don't luck into a 150 + RBI season. And Greenberg averaged 148 RBI per 162 games for his career.
Look at his RAA total for his best 7 seasons: 365. His average for those 7 seasons is over 52. That's simply spectacular.
