    **EDIT** SINCE 1900

    Name the players who hold the record for each of these categories in a final season.

    (for example Shoeless Joe Jackson holds the record for the highest batting average in a final season (he hit .382 in 1920)

    PA -
    H - Joe Jackson (218)
    RBI - Joe Jackson (121)
    R - Joey Cora (111)
    SB -
    Walks - Roy Cullenbine (137)
    Intentional Walks - Barry Bonds (43)
    OBP - Joe Jackson (.444)
    SLG - Joe Jackson (.589)
    HR - Dave Kingman (35)

    We'll do pitching next.

    Ray Chapman would be first guess for 3B (edit: I see they are not listed) and SB. Barroid for IBB.

    Edit: Duh, Joe Jackson is my guess for H, Spct.

      Chapman and Bonds are incorrect. Joe Jackson is correct for hits and SLG.

            aw geez so the only answers I got were the ones you gave away. OK while on the Black Sox Buck Weaver for PA. Bill Buregg' favorite Bill Lange will be my next SB guess.

                So someone had more than 41 steals in their final season? :-O

                  Ok - I'm gonna grasp at straws and guess Ted Williams for HR, BB, OBP. or failing at that Hank Greenberg for the same trioka. and a last hoggish guess for the same three Ralph Kiner.

                    Many players whos careers ended before 1900 had more than 41 steals in their final season. Sorry for not clarifying, but for the purposes of this thread, we're looking for post-1900.

                    And in case, you're wondering the pre-1900 record is held by Billy Sunday (who would go on to become a world famous evangelist) with 84 stolen bases in 1890.

                      All are incorrect. Williams didn't have enough PAs in 1960 to qualify for the OBP record.

                            its a good thing you don't have a three strike rule, because I might have used up a games worth.
