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.

Hamilton did. 1697 R in 1594 major league games. I'm not sure if anyone else has done it.

Harry Stovey - 1495 runs in 1489 games
And George “Piano Legs “ Gore - 1327 runs in 1310 games

Good finds! I would guess there are maybe a few more 19th century players that did it.

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

We'd see some crazy offensive numbers if MLB moved the mound back to 72 feet next year....

Unrelated to the trivia but I've always thought Herb Washington had one of the weirdest MLB careers.

He scored 33 runs in 105 games but never had an at bat and stole 31 bases over two seasons.

He also never appeared in a minor league game and didn't have a single plate appearance over his entire professional career, but did get a ring with the 1974 A's while appearing in 3 World Series games.

John Paciorek scored an average of 4.0 runs per game in his major league career.
