That gave me the hint I needed...Sosa?

Sosa is correct! He scored 146 R in 2001. (McGwire only got to 130, Molitor had 136). Tied for #4 on the list.


And a final, bonus question: all-time MLB, who scored the most runs in a season and how many?

Probably some guy who played with Jack Glasscock. Definitely not Keith Hernandez. Even though Keith Hernandez is awesome.

Maybe Ruth, between the HR and Gehrig hitting behind him.

Ruth is tied for #2. 177 R in 1921.

It's not Keith, but I agree he's awesome. A fact about Jack Glasscock that most people don't know: his gravesite in Wheeling, WV was moved during the construction of I-70, which was built through parts of the cemetery where he was buried in the 1940s.

Back in the 1970s I hitchhiked west from D.C. and passed through Wheeling on I-70. While of course I was a baseball devotee even then, I had no idea I was so close to history.

The history of baseball is, in many ways, the history of the country.

“Sliding” Billy Hamilton had the mist runs in a year. I think it was near 200.

Correct! Hamilton scored 198 R in 1894.

So he did basically play with Jack Glasscock!

How do you score 198 runs in a season? It just goes to show how impossible it is to compare players across eras.

They overlapped in the NL for a few years (although Glasscock was already a veteran when Hamilton broke in).

1893-94 had an explosion of offensive stats when they moved the mound back from 50 ft to the current distance. '94 was also when Hugh Duffy hit .440.

You hit .400, get over 100 walks, steal 100 bases, and have two .400 hitters (Delahanty and Sam Thompson) behind you.
