	i try hack wilson in every single quiz and it finally pays dividends for me!

Comment below threshold: show it

	baseball-refrence.com shows the batting average as .426. I always knew it as .424, but I guess they keep reviewing old boxscores and making corrections. I always knew Wilson's RBIs as 190, and Cobb's career average as .367 with 4191 hits.

	sweeneyn09: Nap Lajoie is considered one of the greatest 2nd basemen of all-time, he isn't that obscure of a name. And bobc: You are probably thinking of Rogers Hornsby's .424 in 1924 which some consider the record because it is in the World Series-era.

	Barry Bonds on steroids was so ridiculous at baseball. Those numbers are insane.

	defnition of 'modern era' should be revamped. .427? please.

	Nobody should ever draw 232 walks in a season, let alone 120 intentional walks.

	Needs to be edited. Mr. All or Nothin Reynolds broke his strikeout record... and personal home run record by about 20 each

	brianmcp:	Oct 20th, 2009 at 21:44 GMT	-1 points
	Bonds should have an asterisk beside his records.

	i'm very surprised that of all babe ruth's single season records (SLG% HR RBI Runs TB) the only one that stood was .. runs

	wheatonbrando:	Oct 21st, 2009 at 02:14 GMT	0 points
	I like this quiz. Maybe you should include most grand slams in a season - Travis Hafner and Don Mattingly tied with 6 each. Could also add most intentional walks, obviously Barry Bonds, with an insane 120.

	wheatonbrando:	Oct 21st, 2009 at 02:15 GMT	2 points
	Couple other interesting ones: Most plate appearances - Jimmy Rollins 778... Most grounded into double plays - Jim Rice 36.

	say what you want about Bonds and the steroids (and I would agree); but man, he absolutely controlled the game when he was at bat, and that takes more than 'roids.
