The last guy is pretty obscure, so I'll just give his name.

In addition to Gehrig (152), Dimaggio (125), Lazzeri (109), and Dickey (107), George "Twinkletoes" Selkirk had 107 RBIs in 1936.

The 1936 Yankees scored an absurd 1,065 Runs on the season, or just under 7 runs a game. This was the second most runs scored in a season in the 20th century--the most was 1,067 Runs by the 1931 Yankees.

Over 20 teams have had 4 players amass 100 RBIs, most recently the 2021 Blue Jays with Teoscar Hernandez (116), Guerrero Jr. (111), Bo Bichette (102), and Marcus Semien (102).

I always get Selkirk mixed up with Stirnweiss.

Selkirk must have been very proud of the nickname twinkle toes.

The 1999 Yankees team had four but not five:

Tino - 105
Derek - 102
Bernie - 115
O'Neill - 110

Yankees have had 4 players 5 times: '27, '31, '32, '39 and '99 in addition to the 5 players in '36
