Another record that gets overlooked is Babe Ruths 1920 season
Ruth hit 54 HRs that season
35 more than second place
He hit more HRs than any other team other than his Yankees and the Phillies
I think the modern equivalent to that would be a player suddenly hitting .600 for a season
Or a NFL HB rusing for 5,000 yards and 60 TDs
Or a NBA player averaging 50 PPG
Records are meant to record the extremes in sport. Ruths season shattered extremes and completly changed the sport.
I do think we will ever seen that again in modern sport.

I recently had a 54-game hit streak pop up in OOTP. But, yeah, other than that I dont believe I have ever had more than like 37.
As far as Ruth. In 1927, his 60 was more than any other team in the AL. Gehrig 47 out did all but one team (Tigers? maybe). 107 total, and the AL had 439 combining everyone. And the crazy thing Lazzeri made it a 1-2-3 Yank run at the top with his 18 HRs. Ken Williams was top non-Yank with 15. Kind of crazy I guess.
