The Surprising MLB Team That Shattered Records and Still Stuns Fans Today

7. 57-21 (.731) – 1926 Kansas City Monarchs

Cristobal Torriente batted .351 with 17 doubles, six triples and five home runs in 276 at-bats and William Bell went 15-6 with a 2.39 ERA for the Negro National League champions.

8. 110-42 (.724) – 1909 Pittsburgh Pirates

The Pirates make the list again in 1909, but shockingly, they barely ran away with the best regular season record. Fresh off two World Series wins, the Cubs were right at their heels, finishing just six games behind the Pirates with a 104-49 record. Pirates shortstop Honus Wagner led the NL in most batting statistics, including batting average (.339), runs batted in (100), on-base percentage (.420), and slugging percentage (.489). That same year, the Pirates narrowly defeated Ty Cobb’s Detroit Tigers 4-3 to win their first World Series title.
