There were overlapping spans for many of these players. In those cases I only included the one with the highest SLG. To see the full list go to https://stathead.com/tiny/9wLOv.
Ruth is the only player with .900+ in an 80 game span (200+ PAs). He had one in 1920 and one in 1921. To see that list go to https://stathead.com/tiny/HZ5pH. His highest was .996
Ruth had an 83 game span in 1920 with 39 HRs, a .437 AVG and a 1.019 SLG. That was May 11 to Aug. 6.
