RBI Trivia

[JoeDirt]

As far as the arcade RBIer, I'd say Winfield.

8 - Non-RBI'er, but Rack loves his replacement - 225 homers

I don't even understand this one...

[JoeDirt]

Oh, a CWS, maybe?

[Bonny]

Armas?

It's been called to my attention that this thread is bogus.  Brunansky hit 230 HRs in the 80s.  While it might be obvious to many that he should be IBBed to get to Gagne/Bush/etc, it wasn't to all, apparently...

Wrong.

Brunansky hit 208 homers between 1981 and 1989.  Thanks for playing though

I blame Attezz for this!

Is 1980 not part of the 80's?

[ultimate7]

It is, but since Brunansky didn't play in 1980, EDF didn't include it

[BDawk]

This is just getting strange now

What he said.

[Metal King]

Two RBI'ers (and the only 2 guys in mlb history) to have a 30+ homer season in 99 games or less are Kevin Mitchell and Mark McGwire.

Mitchell in '94 (30 hr, 95 games)
McGwire in 2000 (32 hr, 89 games)

Mitchell's season was incredible, .341 avg, and a .681 slg%

Just something interesting I thought I'd post.

Oops, Mitchell had only a .326 with a .681 Slg% in '94 my bad.  Also 77 rbi that year, in 310 ab's.  Had the .341 with a .601 Slg% in '93.

I just checked, McGwire's season was even more incredible:  32 hr, 72 total hits, .305 avg, .746 Slg %, 60 runs, 73 rbi in just 236 atbats.  Big Mac had 39 hr in '95 with just 87 Hits.

Mitchell didn't even play in '95, probably something to do with the strike, came back in '96 and hit over .300+ with 2 teams in limited time, retired 2 years later having barely played, he was just getting good again.

Still gotta love his barehanded catch in Left Field though.
