Although his best years did not quite reach Ruthian levels, the decade of the 1930s would once again belong to a Bronx bomber. This time, Lou Gehrig, with a big push from Jimmie Foxx, would take five spots on the Top Ten List of the best seasons by a position player in the 1930s. With 49 HR, 165 RBI, and a 0.363 batting average in 1934, Gehrig would jump to the top of the list at 50.136 PEVA.
