St. Olmo's Fire

As James Loney's Tom Herr-type season rolls along, we can note that he is currently on pace for 108 RBI, yet only 66 runs scored. If he continues on his current pace, Loney would have the second fewest runs scored with 100 RBI in Dodger history. Only Luis Olmo, a utility man who played mostly outfield along with third and second base for the Dodgers during World War II, had fewer runs, with his 62-run, 110-RBI 1945 season.

Fewest Runs w/100 RBI
Player Year Runs RBI
Luis Olmo 1945 62 110
Ron Cey 1975 72 101
Eric Karros 1999 74 112
Gil Hodges 1955 75 102
Sam Leslie 1934 75 102
Billy Herman 1943 76 100
Ron Cey 1977 77 110
Hack Wilson 1932 77 123
Steve Garvey 1980 78 106
