Unbreakable Baseball Records: The Legendary 1930 Season and Hack Wilson's Tragic Tale
Could you imagine a player driving in 191 RBIs in one season?
In 1930, Hack Wilson of the Chicago Cubs did just that-and no one has come close since.
In this episode of Rounding Third, Peter Lemieux explores:
• The wild, offense-heavy 1930 MLB season
• How Hack Wilson became a legend… and how it all unraveled
• What made his 191-RBI season possible
• Why this record may never be broken
• The tragic downfall of one of baseball's forgotten greats
This is more than a baseball stat-this is a human story of greatness, addiction, and legacy. Join us as we relive one of the most outrageous seasons in baseball history.
