Pitcher: Carl Hubbell (1933, Giants)

23 W, 5 SV, 156 K, 1.66 ERA, .982 WHIP

Pitcher: Bob Feller (1940, Indians)

27 W, 4 SV, 261 K, 2.61 ERA, 1.133 WHIP

Pitcher: Bucky Walters (1939, Reds)

27 W, 0 SV, 137 K, 2.29 ERA, 1.125 WHIP

Pitcher: Lefty Grove (1931, Athletics)

31 W, 5 SV, 175 K, 2.06 ERA, 1.077 WHIP

Pitcher: Dizzy Dean (1934, Cardinals)

30 W, 7 SV, 195 K, 2.66 ERA, 1.165 WHIP

Pitcher: Van Mungo (1936, Dodgers)

18 W, 3 SV, 238 K, 3.35 ERA, 1.261 WHIP

Pitcher: Cy Blanton (1935, Pirates)

18 W, 1 SV, 142 K, 2.58 ERA, 1.081 WHIP

Pitcher: Alvin Crowder (1932, Senators)

26 W, 1 SV, 103 K, 3.33 ERA, 1.211 WHIP

Pitcher: Claude Passeau (1940, Cubs)

20 W, 5 SV, 124 K, 2.50 ERA, 1.133 WHIP

Analysis: After going through these hitters, it is even more remarkable that three of these pitchers won MVP Awards.  That is unheard of these days.  This is one of the best offensive decades in baseball history and featured the end of many careers including Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig.  I am interested to see what you, the reader, have to say about my outfield choices.  There is little speed in this lineup, but tons of power which was the popular thing to have at this time.

Middle Infield: Luke Appling (1936, White Sox)

111 R, 6 HR, 128 RBI, 10 SB, .388 AVG

One of the most intriguing stat lines of the decade. Very similar to Tommy Herr in the 80s

8-110-31-302 with 97 runs

Remarkable. This era was weird because it was the beginning of the power era, compared to speed dominated in the past.

gehringer ... 127 rbi and only 11 hr !
(morneau needed twice as many) .
this must have been some line-up , as he also scored 134 times .
