Bryce Harper had a Pujol-like Ruthian season in 2015

I anticipate there will many times in Bryce Harper’s career in which he is compared to the Babe

Just look at the amazing 2015 season for Bryce Harper

What I’d like you to notice in particular is that Harper had a season in which he had 100+ runs scored, 40+ homers, and an OPS in excess of 1.100.

Only one player since 2004 has had a season with 100+ runs scored, 40+ homers, and an OPS in excess of 1.100

Albert Pujols of the St. Louis Cardinals

Not surprisingly, no player had more seasons of 100+ runs scored, 40+ homers, and an OPS in excess of 1.100, than Babe Ruth

A season like this has been achieved only 53 times, first by the Babe in the back-to-back seasons of 1920-21 and then by Rogers Hornsby in 1922.

There have only been 12 seasons in which this was achieved by more one player

The record is four, done three times and once legitimately in 1930.
