Hey Joe P........
Isn't the title of this thread......"Best Single Season Ever (Statistically) for a Player" ? ?
So, now your changing the game by telling us that we have to compare exact seasons ?
You're a real piece of work !
Anyhow, comparing Ruth's 1921 season with Foxx's 1932....although, they are quite close,
Ruth has the edge. And, Ruth's stats were good enough to lead the Yankees to the AL pennant in 1921.
While Foxx's numbers were great, they did not help the A's win the AL pennant in 1932 (the Yankees won it).
..............Ruth..........Foxx
AB's........540............585
HITs........204...........213
BA......... .378......... .364
BB's.........145...........116
HR's..........59............58
2B's..........44............33
3B's..........16..............9
Runs........177...........151
RBI..........171...........169
SlAvg...... .846........ .749
K's.............81............96
Anyhow, I'm one of those Net54 dinosaur's that grew up when the schools taught us Real World math (i.e. .378
is greater than .364..... .846 is greater than .749, etc., etc.).
Joe P, most likely was taught "new math". Or if numbers aren't preceded by $$, he has a problem with them.
