trutrojan8 Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Who do you think has the best statistical season ever? I like either Joe Dimaggio's '37 (.346/151 R/46 HR/167 RBI/and 37 SO on 692 PA)OrTy Cobb's '11 (.420/147 R/24 Triples/248 Hits/83 SB/127 RBI) Who do you guys have?

trutrojan8 Posted September 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 But 37 K's on nearly 700 plate appearances is unbelievable. You can expect about 100 strikeouts with the hacks we see today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phightins Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 (edited) Position players? I am a fan of Cobb in 1911. To add a couple other options... Babe Ruth 1927- .356 BA, 60 HR, 164 RBI, 1.258 OPS Mark McGwire 1998- 70 HRs, .470 OBP (of course the 28 intentional walks did not hurt), 1.222 OPS Lou Gehrig 1927- .373 BA, 52 doubles, 47 HR, 175 RBI Jimmie Foxx 1932- .364 BA, 58 HR, 169 RBI, 1.218 OPS Edited September 15, 2009 by Phightins09 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phightins Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Yall are big Bonds haters 4 real. Bonds's 2001 season is hands down one of the 3 or 4 best of all time if you ask me. I was just throwing in options that nobody had mentioned yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfish Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Ok but I ask you this my good sir. Would this be considered the best season of all time? .371 BA, 237 hits, 119 runs, 60 home runs, 177 RBIs, 31 stolen bases, 1.175 OPS nobody has ever done this, however, I did it in my MLB Road to the show on PSP. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 (edited) Also nobody has even talked about pitchers. Sandy Koufax 1965- 41 GS, 26-8, 2.04 ERA, 27 CG, 382 SO, 71 BB (His 1966 season was just as impressive, if not more impressive) Pedro Martinez 1997- 31 GS, 17-8, 1.90 ERA, 13 CG, 313 SO, 37 BB Greg Maddux 1995- 28 GS, 19-2, 1.63 ERA, 10 CG, 181 SO, 23 BB (Most impressive part about Pedro and Maddux is that they did this in a very offense-heavy era) Steve Carlton 1972- 41 GS, 27-10, 1.97 ERA, 30 CG, 310 SO, 87 BB (on a side note, his 27 wins were exactly half of the total wins the Phillies had that year) Tom Seaver 1971- 35 GS, 20-10, 1.76 ERA, 21 CG, 289 SO, 61 BB (Oh what I would give to have been around in the 70s to see a Phillies/Mets game when Carlton and Seaver pitched against each other) Bob Gibson 1968- 34 GS, 22-9, 1.12 ERA, 28 CG, 268 SO, 62 BB Way way more options, this is all I feel like posting for now though.

Okay, I know there are way more options that I did not post, but out of these I honestly think Pedro's 1997 season is the best, considering all of the factors, particularly the era he did it in.

It'd be like Albert Pujols x2, then Albert Pujols x2 in the on deck circle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Actually I copied it down wrong. Gehrig had 52 doubles, not HRs. Only 47 HRs lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phightins Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 It's more like Albert Pujols is x2 better than both of them. Probably, but stats are stats, and those guys were the beasts of that era. Who cares how good they would be in today's era, it is irrelevant. I understood what he was trying to say. It is like today having 2 slightly better versions of Albert Pujols hitting 3 and 4 in a lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phightins Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 (edited) Steve Carlton 1972- 41 GS, 27-10, 1.97 ERA, 30 CG, 310 SO, 87 BB (on a side note, his 27 wins were exactly half of the total wins the Phillies had that year) This season Carlton had is fascinating to me. A 1.97 ERA in 346 innings is ridiculous enough, as is the fact that he had exactly half of the Phillies wins....but 30 complete games.....30. How crazy is that? And only 27 wins. 3 of his complete games did not even result in a W. The difference in time periods is astounding. I was going to post some old Cy Young/Walter Johnson stats to show the difference in era's, but you only have to go back to the early 70's and Carlton/Seaver to see it.
