RBI guys

If one is looking for a precedent in Dodgers history for the season James Loney is enjoying, one need not journey back as far as 1892 and talk of Dan Brouthers -- 1970 would be far enough to find another productive first baseman. Wes Parker hit only 10 home runs yet managed to drive in 111 runs. He also led the league in doubles with 47 and finished fifth in batting at .319, .06 behind a fellow named Joe Torre.
