Major League Baseball Player scored the most runs in a single season?

Answer 1

Pre 1900: The Boston Beaneaters of 1894scored 1220. Post 1900: The New York Yankees of 1931 scored 1067. Note: Major changes were made to the pitcher's area for the 1893 season. Pre 1893 pitcher's pitched on level ground within a chalked box that was 5 1/2 feet long and 4 feet wide with the back line being 55 1/2 feet from the plate. The pitcher had to start his delivery on the back line of the box. Starting in 1893 the pitching distance was lengthened to 60 1/2 feet and the box was replaced with a raised mound. A slab of rubber 12 inches long (today it is 24 inches long) was the designated starting point for a pitcher's windup. Consequently, for several years following the change, offense skyrocketed as pitchers adjusted to the longer distance.
