Having read Roy Kerr's book on Big Sam Thompson - Greatest Clutch Hitter Ever . . .
I'm confident Sam Thompson owns the RBI/game record with ridiculous stats in 1887 and again with the Phillies in the 1890s.
Lady Baldwin had a great 1886 and would lead all NL pitchers that year but falls well short of best single season pitching WAR.
