Mantle walked too much. This one surprised me, Tris Speaker only had 2 100 RBI seasons and none for the Red Sox.
In 1912 he had 222 hits, 53 2b, 12 3b, 10 HR and scored 136 runs, but only drove in 90. The Red Sox won 105 games that season and won the WS.
For a guy with 3514 hits and 1131 xb hits and 162 game averages of 204 and 66 respectively, you would have thought he would have driven in more runs. Honus Wagner drove in 100 runs 9 times and Ty Cobb did so 7 times.
