Jose Reyes thinks Jose Bautista will knock him in a record # of times. Record is Mike Sweeney knocking in Johnny Damon 58 times in 2000
— Peter Gammons (@pgammo) February 26, 2013
That's a pretty lofty goal for Reyes and Bautista and it got my mind rolling. It's amazing that of all the great combos of a top-of-the-order run scorer and a slugging RBI guy, it's Johnny Damon and Mike Sweeney that hold this mark.
* Sweeney was a darn good hitter languishing on bad Kansas City teams. From 1999 to 2002, he averaged .324/.396/.535 and 3.8 bWAR. He was also indifferent about fielding. As Joe Posnanski wrote in 2010, a coach once said "That guy would rather face Nolan Ryan in a phone booth on Christmas in the dark that take a ground ball." But he could rake and his top comps by Similarity Score are "professional hitter" types like Pedro Guerrero, Cliff Floyd and Rico Carty. He finally made the postseason after a midseason trade to the Phillies in 2010. He made one plate appearance in the NLDS against the Reds and in what would be his last at bat in the major leagues, he knocked a pinch-hit single off of Aroldis Chapman. Not a bad way to go out.
I wanted to find out who some of the other high-ranking duos are and some googling didn't turn up anything. I expected to find some article with a list, but came up empty so I made my own. I went back through 1945 (the earliest season in which I could use the Baseball-Reference Event Finder for individual players) to see who was knocked in the most by the given batter.
I've listed RBI/Run Scored combos that teamed up for at least 25 tallies in a season since 1945. Some of the seasons in the late-40s and early-50s didn't list every RBI and those entries are marked with an asterisk.
For instance, Baseball-Reference says Ted Williams drove in Dom DiMaggio 52 times in 1949. However, it only listed 140 of his 159 RBI's from that season. Five of the missing 19 RBI's came on homers, but the other 14 are a mystery. Since the record is 58 we know that at most, DiMaggio only came in on five of the 14.

What's the recipe for ranking high on this list? You need a speedy high-OBP guy at the top of the lineup and a productive star a spot or two behind them. Homers obviously help, but you can't hit too many. Barry Bonds' and Mark McGwire's mega seasons are near the bottom of the list. Sweeney knocked in an impressive 144 runs in his record-setting season, but he only hit 29 dingers. Rusty Staub and George Brett make the top ten here while hitting only 24 in 1978 and 1980, respectively.
The most important part, however, is a pretty fixed batting order. Let's take the five 50-run duos and see each player's starts by lineup position.
Year | Team | Runs | Runner | Lineup Spots | Hitter | Lineup Spots |
2000 | KC | 58 | Johnny Damon | (1) 157 | Mike Sweeney | (3) 134 (5) 25 |
1985 | NYY | 56 | Rickey Henderson | (1) 141 | Don Mattingly | (2) 58 (3) 99 (4) 2 |
1996 | MIN | 55 | Chuck Knoblauch | (1) 151 | Paul Molitor | (2) 1 (3) 158 (4) 1 |
1949 | BOS | 52 | Dom DiMaggio | (1) 143 | Ted Williams | (3) 155 |
1978 | DET | 50 | Ron LeFlore | (1) 152 (7) 3 | Rusty Staub | (3) 162 |
Those are all about as consistent a lineup that you can have over a 162-game season. Sweeney started the season in the fifth spot and would surely have knocked Damon in even more if he was hitting third prior to late-April.

The player that turns up the most on the list as a runner is Derek Jeter (11 times). Single-season record holder Johnny Damon appears seven times and Craig Biggio appears six times. Joe Morgan, Omar Vizquel and Joey Cora are next (5x), followed by Dom DiMaggio, Pee Wee Reese, Junior Gilliam, Vada Pinson, Ray Durham, Kenny Lofton, Roberto Alomar and Chase Utley (4x).
As for Reyes and Bautista threatening the record...it would obviously take a confluence of everything breaking right. Reyes would have to get aboard at a clip similar to his standout 2011 season (.384 OBP compared to his career mark of .342). Bautista has to stay healthy and mash like he did in 2010 and 2011. Even then it'll be a long shot, but if the revamped Jays offense is a good as it looks on paper, the two Jose's could put themselves pretty high on this leaderboard.
