The Surprising MLB Team That Shattered Records and Still Stuns Fans Today
T-17. 107-45 (.704) – 1931 Philadelphia Athletics
Entering the 1931 season, the A’s were coming off back-to-back triple-digit win seasons and had won the last two World Series. Outfielder Al Simmons led the majors with his .390 batting average, beating out both Ruth and Gehrig. But it was the A’s pitching that stole the spotlight, starting with Robert “Lefty” Grove’s “Triple Crown,” where he ranked first with 31 wins, 175 strikeouts, and a 2.06 ERA. George Earnshaw, Rube Walberg, and James “Jumbo” Elliott owned 21, 20, and 19 wins, respectively, and the A’s led the AL in least runs allowed (626). But their dreams of winning three consecutive World Series ended as they fell to the St. Louis Cardinals in seven games. The A’s would not go on to reach another Fall Classic until ’72 – but then went ahead to win three in a row.
