HankTheCowDog Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Single season RBI record-holder Hack Wilson was a fireplug of a man, standing 5'6" and weighing around 190. He hit 56 HR in 1930 to go with his 191 RBI and won a couple other HR crowns in the '20's. As an aside, for years, Wilson's record stood at 190, but someone reviewing box scores found an instance where he was not credited with an RBI he had earned, resulting in a revision of the record. Tony Conigliaro was a promising outfielder for the Red Sox in the late '60's, one of the youngest ever to win a home run title. His career was cut short by a pitch that hit him in the face, affecting his eyesight. Who threw the pitch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
