The stat I reported is a stat I heard given when Arod reached that mark, but it's pretty obviously wrong. Thanks for the correction. Trent,

I went through Ruth's sheets and found four seasons where he got to 100 RBI in less than 100 TEAM games: 1921: 100th RBI on 7/30, 92nd team game 1926: 100th RBI on 7/27, 98th team game 1931: 100th RBI on 7/27(1), 94th team game 1932: 100th RBI on 7/29, 99th team game It would be interesting to find the guys who requird the fewest games (or team games), or PAs, to get to 100 RBI in a season.

I thought I read that he was the first Yankee to do so since both Gehrig and DiMaggio did it in 1937, but it seems like Ruth would've done it in at least one season....

My friend and I thought of a stat, so anyone who reads this comment back and say what you think: It's called the "Production Factor", and here's some key points in it: -Players get as many points as the percentage of hits, runs and RBI they get for their team. -If a player has a homer that drove in 3 of the 4 runs for his team, give him only 75 points, don't give him credit for scoring himself and driving in himself, because that would suggest he drove in 4 runs. Here's an example: 2 Days ago, Scott Posednik was 2-4 with 1 run scored and an RBI. The White Sox scored 4 runs on 4 hits. This means Posednik get 50 points for hits (2 out of 4 is 50%), and 25 for his run (1 out of 4= 25%) and 25 points for his RBI. So Posednik ends up with 100 points, and very good score.

Thats efficiency. Also of interest is that Rudy York had 103 RBIs in 1937 with only 417 PAs. Thats efficiency.
