Jim Baker On The Best Batter Games Of All Time Using A Fantasy Formula

Fellow sabermetrician Jim Baker has compiled the best individual games of all time. Batters get one point for every total base, run scored, RBI, walk and stolen base (this is a formula many leagues use). The table below has the top 12. None of these guys stole a base in their games. Notice two of them have been from this year and from seemingly unlikely players.
