A followup to my question and the reason for the question: Prince Fielder, after last night's game in which he hit his 23rd HR and produced only his 45th RBI is now on pace to hit 40 HRs this season and have only 78 RBI.
Lou Gehrig with 175 RBIs in 1927.
Hank Wilson holds the record for most RBIs in a single season with 191, set in 1930.
In the 2010 season, that is Harold Baines with 1628 career RBIs. Baines retired in 2001. Next season, Rafael Palmeiro will be eligible for the HoF and had 1835 career RBIs. Chances are he will not get a sniff of the Hall due to his association with performance enhancing substances.
Through the 2011 season, Albert Pujols of the St. Louis Cardinals has 1,329 career RBIs.
