It was 191.
But if you look at the top 100, most of them are from around the 1930s (hmm wonder why? (not sarcastic haha)). All the top 20 except 3 are all from then. 2 were from 1890s. And then one from our time whos at 14, Manny Ramirez in 1999 with 165

Just like Babe, then Maris, then McGwire and Bonds, most records are breakable (some aren't like Cy Young's 511 wins). Manny Ramirez a few years ago had 165 rbis or so. Maybe Albert Puljols one year will come close to Hack Wilson.

Wasn't it 190 even (191 would break it)?
I almost can't imagine it. I don't believe that anyone has topped 162 (an rbi per game) in many, many years, so unless they soup up the ball some more and/or keep moving fences in (let alone more expansion), I don't envision this happening.

That is a tough one.....you do not have complet control over the circumstances....you have to have a ton of teammates on base and be clutch all the time.....it is possible.....if David Ortiz hit 4th instead of 3rd this year, he may have had a few more opportunities. Pujols could have a chance too. Even A-rod if he didn't have all those fears floating around in his head.

It will someday, but a player would have to be very, very good, and even luckier. It will happen by a player who hits 3rd and with two small fast guys without a lot of power in front of him, who have about a .400+ OBP. He needs to hit about 40 HRs a year and just pretty much always hit the ball hard. He needs to have a great hitter protecting behind him. I think it will happen within the next decade...by Ryan Howard, with or without the Phillies!

This year if they keep pitching to David Ortiz but there going to have alot of meaningful games left over this last 2 months and teams might stop pitching to him and even manny ... ortiz wouldnt have more chances batting 4th cuz then he would have no protection behind him and pitchers usally struggle in the 1st inning then settle down if there going to struggle early and they want him to get a chance in the 1st inning to rattle a pitcher

never. bear in mind, decrease back in Hack's day, alleviation pitchers, no longer to show closers, have been very almost non existant. the game has replaced too lots. Hack, no disrespect meant, probable observed the comparable pitcher 4 at bats in line with game.

Like any record it's possible. It would have to be a team structured like the 1961 Yankees.

I'm sure someone will break it eventually. Remember people thought Lou Gerhig's record would never be broken either.
