It is probably the best hitting season in National League history. He scored 146 runs, hit a then NL record 56 homers, batted .356, and single-handedly accounted for 33% of the runs the Cubs scored that year.
Unfortunately for Hack, it was also the beginning of the end of his time in Chicago. Because the Cubs choked away the pennant in the closing weeks of that season, manager Joe McCarthy was fired and replaced by Hack's teammate (and nemesis) Rogers Hornsby. The two men would fight and bicker throughout Hack's very disappointing 1931 season, and Wilson would be a St. Louis Cardinal by 1932.
He never again approached his astounding numbers of 1930.
