thompson was one of the most prolific run producers in baseball history. his career rbi to games played ratio of .923 (1,305 rbis in 1,410 games) remains the highest in major league history, higher even than lou gehrig (.921), hank greenberg (.915), joe dimaggio (.885), and babe ruth (.884). in 1895, thompson averaged 1.44 rbis per game (147 rbis in 102 games), still a major league record. his 166 rbis in 1887 (in only 127 games) was 62 more than anyone else in the league that year, and it stood as the major league record until 1921 when babe ruth collected 168 (albeit in 152 games). thompson still holds the major league record for most rbis in a single month with 61 in august 1894 while playing for the phillies.
