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. |

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. Last edited by packs; 10-23-2019 at 08:18 AM. |

I'll toss in a couple of arms from the 1960's that fly under the radar.
Jim Maloney who had a fine but short career. He had a couple of standout seasons with 1963 being his best. 23 -7 with a 2.77 ERA. He finished with 250 IP, 183 Hits allowed and 265 K's. For the season he finished 19 in MVP voting. No All - Star or Cy Young placement. The next name is Sam McDowell. In 1965, he finished at 17 - 11 and a 2.18 ERA. Additional numbers of import are 273 IP, 178 Hits allowed and 325 K's. For the season he finished 17 in MVP voting. No All - Star or Cy Young placement.
