November 25, 1930

#OnThisDay in @chicagocubs history ▸ As their National League MVP, the Baseball Writers Association of America chooses a man standing at just 5'6" as their biggest slugger... His name was Lewis Robert Wilson. Better known by his nickname, Hack Wilson.

The Cubs’ outfielder knocked in 191 RBI a record that stands to this day. He also finished first in home runs, with 56; walks, drawing over 100; slugging percentage, and OPS, while also batting over .350. His 423 total bases logged in 1930 are the eighth most ever in a season in @mlb history.
