I hate to throw gasoline on this thread, but all seasons before 1935 flew under the radar which wasn’t invented until then.

So I’ll add Ruth and Cobb and all our other prewar friends including Wahoo, Cy and my namesake, “The Crab”.

Pirates outfielder Adam Comorosky in 1930. He hit 47 doubles, 23 triples and 12 homers. You can't find another season in baseball history where a player reached all three of those numbers. The best part is that he led the majors with 33 sacrifice hits, so he was giving up plenty of at-bats that season to move runners along, yet he still set numbers that were never reached nor equaled.

Another with 13 players who were with the Pittsburgh Pirates during the regular season, but never played a game. There's also one about 27 baseball families, as well as a day-by-day look at the worst team in Pittsburgh Pirates history.

Minor leagues, but Joe Hauser of the Minneapolis Miller’s in 1933 hit 69 HRs and had a 332 batting avg and 770 slugging pct. this came only 3 years after he hit 63 HRs with the Baltimore Orioles of the International League.

Dean Chance 1964

AB - 89
H - 7
2B - 0
3B -0
HR - 0
BB - 0
K - 53
AVG - .079

Since he couldn't hit, they let him do some pitching:

Games - 46
Starts - 35
Innings - 278.1
W/L - 20-9
Shutouts - 11
ERA - 1.65 (which would be amazing in the deadball era, let alone the 1960s)

Lifetime he was 128-115.

Default Cecil Travis -- 1941
He led the AL in hits while the radar techs were distracted by hitting streaks and .400 averages.

Also, in 1998 or so, Bonds became first 400HR/400SB and couldn't get a ping with all the yapping about McGuire, Sosa, et al. It appears that was when he decided to get back on the radar by juicing.

Babe Herman's 1930 season:

Hit 393, 35 homers, 138 rbi's, 241 hits, 28 doubles and scored 143 runs.

Might have gone down as an all time season if not for Bill Terry hitting 400.


Also Earl Webb's 1931 season:

Webb hit 333, scored 96 runs, had 103 rbi's but set the all time single season record with 67 doubles.
