The two most Paul Bunyan statistical seasons of all time were:
1919- Ruth playing for the Redsox had 29 HR's the entire team had 33 HR's
Ruth had 88% of his teams HR's. That year he had more Homeruns than 10
of the 15 other major league teams.
1953- Williams returned from the Korean War in August 1 every 7 AB's953, Williams practiced with the Red Sox
for ten days before playing in his first game, garnering a large ovation from the crowd and hitting a
home run in the eighth inning.[SUP][112][/SUP] In the season, Williams ended up hitting .407 with 13 home runs
and 34 RBIs in 37 games and 110 at bats. Williams Slg. .901 with a HR every 7 AB's.
Forget about Bonds his steroids error video games stats can not compare with these two.
THE STEROID ERA:
FROM 1903-1949 THERE WERE 44 PLAYERS WHO HIT OVER 30 HR'S IN A SEASON, Less than 1 a year
In the year before Bonds hit 73 HR's, 2000 46 Major Leaguers League hit over 30 HR's
Why not post slugging Pct? I mean, this is not a real debate fellas. Debate second place but first place is as easy a choice as any we can make when comparing players from different eras. Also, if you compare the eras it just widens the gap for how incredible Ruth was.
