Seasons With An OPS+ Of At Least 200 And An ERA+ Of At Least 200

It would be the 11th year this happened where both a hitter and a pitcher reached this mark, although it might be an apples to oranges comparison. The point is that it is rare to see such a great season from both a hitter and pitcher in the same year. Notice that we went 63 years without one. Cabrera went 3 for 4 with a HR today, so his OPS+ probably went up.

Maybe if the the 1994 season had been completed, both Thomas and Bagwell would have slipped below 200. I think if they had less than a 167 OPS+ the rest of the way that might have happened. So they both could have hit very well, say 160 and still have fallen below 200. Maddux would have only fallen below 200 with about a 35 ERA+ the rest of the way. Not likely.
