The 1930 baseball season was unlike any other. Big league rosters
included more Hall of Famers than at any time before or since. "The
year of the batter" saw an extraordinary number of records set for
runs, hits, home runs and RBIs. Nine of the 16 teams hit over .300
and so did 60 percent of the regular players. Seven pairs of
teammates hit .350 or better and 20 batters had over 200 hits. Hack
Wilson had a record 191 RBIs and five others topped 150; both
leagues' batting races came down to the last game of the season.
The pennant races provided great drama as well. In the National
League, the Cardinals overcame a fourth place 12-game deficit in
the final weeks of the season to win a four team, down-to-the-wire
race. In the American League, underdog Washington battled injuries,
misfortune and tragedy to challenge the heavily-favored Athletics.
For the first time, this remarkable season is covered in full, from
spring training to the final out of the World Series.
