I am not an astute historian when it comes to Cubs baseball. I won’t even try to claim that I am anywhere near the authority that Chris Neitzel is. Since he is out with a family commitment this week, I decided to still take a look at Cubs history, but look at the greatest offensive WAR seasons in Cubs history by position using the Baseball Reference oWAR statistic.
The criteria to make the list was as follows:
- Must have played at least 50% of his games at that position
- Must have amassed enough plate appearances to qualify for the batting title, with the only exception being for the pitcher.
