Questions about 100-win Teams

[Second Base Coach]

The 1942 Dodgers won 104 games. Dolph Camilli and Pete Reiser both scored 89 runs to lead the team. (Reiser only played 125 games).

That team-leading run total is pretty low for a 100 win team.

There were plenty of high RBI totals before Ruth, though. Gavy Cravath had 128 in 1913. Sam Crawford had 120 in 1920 despite only 5 home runs.

and despite retiring in 1917.

Jim Northrup led the 1968 Tigers in hits with 153. No big surprise in that year.

Also, the highest Average for any real full-time player was under .290.
Al Kaline - .287 - 102 games
Willie Horton - .285 - 143 games

Frank Schulte led the 1909 Cubs with 60 RBI. I find RBIs to be a bit like HRs and should likely only count teams from 1920 or so to present.

I was just looking at the 1988 Mets and noticed that their leader in hits was Kevin McReynolds with 159. That seems like a very low total to lead a 100-team.

Reggie Jackson led the 1971 A's with 157 hits.

Larry Doyle led the 101-win NY Giants with 73 RBI in 1913. Not sure if that's the record...

A few teams had pitchers with 15 wins during the regular season. But the 2004 Yankees were led by Javier Vazquez & Jon Lieber - both with 14.

[Ben Grimm]

For HRs (post-Ruth), the '42 Cardinals were led by Enos Slaughter's total of 13. More recently, the '77 Royals had Mayberry and Cowens topping the team with 23.

I don't have the answers.

Hits?
Home Runs? (Since Ruth
Runs?
RBI?
Pitcher wins?
