During the 1988 season pitcher Tim Leary had three game winning runs batted in, but he does not share the record because one came as a pinch hitter.

Alan Wiggins in 1984, and Rafael Palmeiro in 1988, both played in more than one-hundred fifty games. Neither one had a single game winning run batted in making them the record holders for fewest game winning runs batted in during a full season of play.

Every child dreams of driving in the game winning run during a big game and in the American League only Kirk Gibson has done it five consecutive times.
