I haven't seen a thread like this recently.
What do you think are the top 5 individual seasons for a position player? Why?
1. Lou Gehrig, 1938 - disease kicking in and still has great year, not by his standards tho
2. Roger Maris, 1961 - the ultimate career year
3. Hack Wilson, 1930 - 191 RBI!
4. Ted Williams, 1939 - amazing rookie year
5. Babe Ruth, 1921 - stands out to me more than any other year
Honorable Mention
Jackie Robinson, 1947 - for obvious reasons
Mickey Mantle, 1962 - how bad were those knees?
Ty Cobb, 1911 - .420
Tony Gwynn, 1994 - .394, WOW!! (and idc if it was in 110 games)
