Most dominant performance ever?

Jason Moyer · 04-02-2005, 03:00 PM

In 1884, 24 year old Louis Moore puts up a season for the ages:

NL League Leaders:

Batting Average
Moore CIN .351
Borquez SDP .342
Rodriques LAD .330
Defazio LAD .328
Benson CIN .325*

On-Base Pct
Moore CIN .480
Borquez SDP .474
Rodriques LAD .432
Brodeur MON .425
Hunsucker PIT .411

Slugging Pct
Moore CIN .865
Borquez SDP .620
Benson CIN .569*
Sherlock PHI .564
Defazio LAD .511

Homeruns
Moore CIN 78
Sherlock PHI 43
Borquez SDP 41
Benson CIN 24
Conlan NYM 24

I don't think I have ever seen an individual player in OOTP dominate to that degree. Over 3 times as many homeruns as the guys tied for 4th in the league? And this is a 12 team league (1980 divisional structure).

Edit: Oh yeah, forgot to add this. Cincinnati's Riverfront Stadium had a 0.87 park HR factor this year. All in all it adds up to 47.8 offensive win shares for a team that finished 5 wins below pyth expectations.

just a bump for mr. moyer, to see if anyone else can compare, though i doubt it. 47 win shares is off the frickin' charts! thanks for dropping that in here, jay.
