Who had the greatest single season of all time?

[CatKnight]

This really should be two polls, one for pitchers and one for hitters.

Incidentally, how can you have Ruth's 1920 and 23 seasons listed, but not 1921 or 27? 1927's more famous, but I was reading a site last nite that cited his '21 campaign as the best of his career.

I voted for Gibson. You can't really explain away his dominance by pointing out that 1968 (not 1908...) was a pitcher's year. Granted. He put together some pretty insane numbers even by 1968 standards.

if someone would like to make another poll and separate the two into pitchers and hitters. and use some other players years.

Agreed.

If you guys want, I can do the poll and if you have any seasons you may think are the best, send them to me and i will compile a list and post. I know you negative nancys would say, if they send you their favorite, they will vote that way. Not necessarily my friends, because they may have overlooked a different player.

Andruw Jones a la 2008
