        400 I would guess Babe Ruth, but that seems too obvious.

                457 is still the top yearly total. second place is from 1922

                        Rogers Hornsby?

                        I assume the earliest one was Ross Barnes since he was from the 1870s and is a B(eotch).
                        More American children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active duty military.

                            Wait, is it Russ Barnes? Can't remember!

                                    They had so few ABs back then, though, that it's hard to imagine any of them getting to 200 in a season. I probably would have guessed Deacon White or maybe Al Spalding. Edit: Or Cap Anson.

                                        MLBtv is pissing me off. I was on a 24.99 monthly plan and they had a deal for 49.99 for the season. So I called up to switch and they said I had to cancel and call back when my monthly plan expired. Now they no longer offer 49.99 from what i can see, it is 89.99. it may save me from watching Lance McCullers implode, so not all bad I guess. Maybe I should take my money and build a spaceship and fly into orbit

                                            apparently I've resorted to discussing the apocalypse with Nully since my trivia contest died out. I'll still take late entries in case you are worried
