When Carlos Beltran crossed the plate 127 times in 2006, he set a new mark for the most ever by a New York Mets player. Amazingly teamed up with Jose Reyes who scored 122 runs that same year, a new standard in excellence was set when it came to scoring runs.
As remarkable of a total as it was for Beltran, he wasn’t the league leader. Chase Utley scored 131 runs for the Philadelphia Phillies.
Despite some big offensive seasons from Beltran, Reyes, and even David Wright, none of them ever led the league in runs scored.
