Hack Wilson¿s major league record of 190 runs batted in during a single season in professional baseball has stood for 70 years. Perhaps the reason for this longevity is that the average for all the other league leaders is so far below the total Wilson knocked in back in 1930. A confidence interval might provide a clue. A random sample of 40 other league-leading RBI season totals is shown below:
