Correct! Honus Wagner accounted for 34% of the Pirate's 585 Runs in 1908. That is the highest single season total I have seen.
Babe Ruth accounted for 33.16% of the Red Sox's 564 Runs in 1919, good for the 2nd highest ever.
Nate Colbert accounted for 32.79% of the Padres' 485 Runs in 1972, good for 3rd highest ever.
As previously mentioned, Ty Cobb's high was 32.39%, good for 5th best.
4th place on the list is tricky. Hint: he is not in the Hall Fame, and achieved his feat in the mid-1930s.
