Only six players amassed 250 or more hits in a season: George Sisler with 257 hits in the 1920 season, followed by Lefty O'Doul 254 in 1929 and Bill Terry 254 in 1930, Al Simmons (4th) with 253 in 1925, Rogers Hornsby (5th) with 250 in 1922, and Chuck Klein (6th) with 250 in 1930. Only once since 1930 has anyone achieved 240 hits in a season: Boston's Wade Boggs hit 240 in 1985. The 1985 season was the third in a string of seven consecutive seasons that Boggs had 200 or more hits, a MLB record that may never be equaled. Baseball considers a 200 hit season the equal of 100 RBIs or 40 homers, but in fact 200 hits is a rarer feat, and the high water mark from which a successful season is guaged. www.allsports.com
