Time for another week of 1970's baseball trivia. As this week we'll revisit my fourteenth trivia post from 2013.
As usual, the answers will be posted tomorrow.1. Oddly enough, the top two high water marks for runs scored by a player in a season for the 1970's happened in the same league, same year. Who were the two players?

3. Who was the only player to lead the A.L. In triples three times in the 1970's?
4. The same player who topped the American League in runs scored for the decade also lead in total doubles for the same time period. Who is it?
