Answer 2

I cannot find a resource to answer the question, but the 2009 NY Yankees had four players with 100+ runs scored.

Interestingly, not only do the NY Yankees have 4 players (Jeter, Damon, Texeira, Cano)that scored 100 or more runs in 2009, but their upcoming 2009 World Series opponent Philadelphia Phillies also have 4 players that have scored 100 or more runs (Rollins, Victorino, Utley and Howard) in 2009. Philadelphia also has 2 more players (Werth and Ibanez) in the 90's. Pretty remarkable. Finding out which team has the most players with 100 or more runs scored in a season is difficult, I've never heard of that stat. I did go on mlb.com and search lots of great individual teams and none of them had 4 players. I would guess this could be the first time that two teams both having 4 are facing each other in the World Series. Eventually I found that the 1931 Yankees had 6 players that scored 100 runs or more (Gehrig, Ruth, Combs, Chapman,Sewell and Lary) but I only looked them up because I found that team holds the record for most overall runs scored in a season post 1900 (1067 runs). So there still could be another team that has more than 6. I doubt it, but there could be.

Answer 3

1931 Yankees...6

Answer 4

Babe Ruth
