Hack Wilson:

The Cubs selected Wilson during the Rule 5 Draft. This marked the beginning of a remarkable five-year period where Wilson led the National League in home runs four times and in RBIs twice. Standing at 5-foot-6 and weighing 190 pounds, Wilson cemented his legacy. In 1929, he topped the NL with 159 RBIs, helping the Cubs secure the NL pennant. The following year, 1930, he delivered one of the most outstanding seasons in baseball history. He hit 56 home runs, setting a National League record that remained unbroken for 68 years until the steroid era, and amassed a staggering 191 RBIs – a record for single-season performance in Major League Baseball that still stands – all while maintaining a .356 batting average. His season was filled with remarkable achievements, including a .723 slugging percentage, 105 walks, and a total of 423 bases.
