Easily Wagner's 1908. If you put up a 205 OPS+ and a 17.1 WARP3 as a shortstop, then you are one bad to the bone dude.

I decided not to vote for Wagner. I know he would get plenty of votes so i shyed away. Anyways, i went with Boudreau's 48 since he was also the mgr of the team and won their last WS. By the way, Larkin's 96 was actually better then his 95 season when he won MVP - good call.

Geez, I spelled shortstop wrong in the thread title. There is no way for me to edit it. Can a moderator add that first t to shorstop?

Wagner's 1908 is tops for me. Arky's 1935 was worthy of consideration.

Lou Boudreau, 1948. Great season on the fields and his best year as a manager, also.
