BRASSWORLD Single Season Records thru 2008

As BRASSWORLD celebrates 6 years in the books, a retrospective is offered that we might fondly remember many of the outstanding performances.

First though, not one major batting or pitching record was set in the past

season as maturing BRASSWORLD performances settled in between the two

standard deviations. It was only in 2007 that David Ortiz shattered the record

for home runs and rbis with 80 and 179. Not even the 60 HR or 150 rbi marks

were reached by this years leaders Alex Rodriguez (58) and Miguel Cabrera

(148). The sole new record documented here belongs to Victor Martinez of

Maryland who grounded into 35 double plays, the new single season record.

Carlos Lee had 33 this year, which might be the second highest total ever.

Many of the records cited here will probably stand a long time given the

historic nature of Barry Bonds performances the first half of this decade, but

other performances stand out also. Jason Isringhausen’s 2003 record of 52

saves by far away has been the best for BW in 6 years. We’re still quite far

from a thirty game winner, but Carlos Zambrano did win 25 back in 2004.

Chone Figgins record of 24 triples in a season leads the rest of the season

leaders by a significant margin.
