Unbelievable RBI Records in MLB History That Will Blow Your Mind!
Wilson not only set the record for RBIs in 1930, but led the league in home runs, walks and strikeouts as well. His timing wasn’t the best, however, as MLB elected not to have an official National League MVP that year due to financial restraints.
2. 184 – Lou Gehrig, New York Yankees (1931)
3. 183 – Hank Greenberg, Detroit Tigers (1937)
4. 175 – Jimmie Foxx, Boston Red Sox (1938)
5. 173 – Lou Gehrig, New York Yankees (1927, 1930)
Most RBIs in a Game
T-1. 12 – Jim Bottomley, St. Louis Cardinals (Sept. 16, 1924)
A pair of St. Louis Cardinals top this list, as Bottomley and Mark Whiten are the only two players to drive in 12 runs in one game in MLB history. As you might expect, neither game was close. Bottomley drove in his 12 RBIs in a 17-3 win over the Brooklyn Robins. Bottomley hit two of his 14 home runs on the season while going 6 for 6.
