This year has a chance to become the first season since 1969 that has featured 2 teams with dynamic duos (Both having an OPS+ of 160 or above). In honor of this achievement, I decided to take a look back at some of the best dynamic duo seasons of all time.

[@AndreIguodalaFan55]

Personally I would’ve went for 150 ops+ but 160 is fine too

[@EthanNiedorowski]

Well done on add read organic content I enjoy the effort you get your getting paid for that alone I’ll watch I’m a addict at heart so I can’t use this one but I’ll watch

[@Cam23]

I’m a simple guy, I see a No More Fielders video, I watch the video 🔥

[@roacherino8446]

I'm a simple man, I see great baseball content creators comment on great baseball content, I like the comment

[@jamesnewbury6354]

I’m a simple guy, i dont know

[@Bupman2]

I’m a simple guy,

[@brandonladd149]

Yep. He’s already up there with the best baseball content along with Jolly Olive and yourself.

[@bmac4]

Seeing you mention Gretzky/Messier just makes me think of how stacked the 80s Oilers were. In honesty Gretzky's favored partner wasn't Messier (both were centres so they didnt play on the same line), but Jari Kurri, the two combining to assist on 560 of their combined 1495 career goals. Like Kurri scored 601 career goals and Gretzky set up 364 of them, over 60%, in 858 games together. The fact that team had those 3 guys, *and* Paul Coffey (who holds the record for most goals by a defenseman in a season), *and* Grant Fuhr who is a hall of fame goalie, *and* Glenn Anderson who made the hall of fame with 498 career goals and 1099 points, just to name a few, absolutely absurd roster.

[@jadenfoster7729]

Phenomenal players combined with the undisputed goat of hockey those 80s oilers teams were something serious

[@SIGuy7480]

Gretzky made Kurri. not to say Kurri is bad he would still probable score 400 goals

[@embesus]

I keep forgetting that No More Fielders doesn't have like 200k subscribers, bro's content is just elite.

[@nomorefielders]

I’m reminded of it every single day

[@jaysterling1159]

I’m still on the adds as I’m writing this, we a Yankees fan….. David Ortiz with Manny Ramirez is one of the craziest duos in one team I saw in my life time.

[@slim3d]

Leaving 2005 David Ortiz(158 OPS+)/Manny Ramirez (153 OPS+) off this list is a CRIME.

[@slim3d]

Also, Jason Varitek had a 122 OPS+ that season.

[@robbiearroyo2292]

The thing about pre-intigration era baseball, as far as I can tell, is that both leagues would've had a theoretically similar percentile of players that wouldn't have made the cut in an integrated league.

[@curbside_prophet6457]

Maris won MVP 2x that year ‘61 and the year before. Great video as usual

[@shoukatsukai]

The fact that Mookie is about to be a part of two dynamic duos in 2023, with his former bash brother from 2018 once again teammates with him is crazy. MLB Love Triangle.

[@nomorefielders]

Almost as good as the love triangle between Kevin Costner, Cal Ripken Jr and his wife

[@dennisgodman9732]

Bonds & Aurillia having 73 & 37 HR cracked me up 😂

[@hahah4040]

Ted Williams and Jimmie foxx 1939 both has a 160+ ops

[@Bengal]

finally someone mentions norm cash in a video ive been begging for it for years

[@nomorefielders]

This might be the final straw that compels me to do a full Norm Cash video

[@jaydumon2784]

Ronald for mvp!

[@raoulduke2513]

At the 8:00 minute mark you said "he collected his lone MVP", Roger Maris won back to back MVP awards in '60 and '61

[@theironredbaron]

Maris won MVP twice. 60 and 61

[@KVirello]

Roger Maris won B2B MVP awards in 1960 and 1961.

[@roygoodhand1301]

When you say "duo", Alan Trammell and Lou Whitaker automatically come to mind.

[@Dulcimerist]

Watching this to see where the Bash Brothers, Jose Canseco and Mark McGuire, rank. They were the most feared duo during their time together with Oakland. Oh, I see based on your criteria, McGuire's 1987 RoY season didn't sync up with Canseco's 1988 MVP year in order to make this list. Glad they got a special mention in your video, though!

[@paduls]

Watching this now after watching Judge and Soto together is bringing a tear to my eye

[@paduls]

I am so curious to see where Judge and Soto finish on this list. They are already alongside Mantle/Maris and Ruth/Gehrig statistics, but alas the season is very young and the hard part is carrying it for the entire season. But again, Judge and Soto are generational talents that could rival it. We haven't seen a duo like this in a very very long time...

[@smoceany9478]

new no more fielders video i know this shits gonna bang

[@smoceany9478]

it banged

[@JhonnyDynamite]

Juan Soto and Aaron Judge might be one of them at the end of the season

[@pranavarora9976]

Bonus points for using the Shaq Kobe meme

[@pranavarora9976]

Anyone wants to know more about Mantle and Maris' 1961 season should really watch the movie 61*

[@RetroBaseball]

Another banger.

[@mythcrab6047]

Crazy that one of the duos is not Trout and Ohtani!

[@nomorefielders]

Ohtani actually didn’t reach the 160 OPS+ mark until this season

[@its-dg2987]

Maris actually won two MVPs

[@aVerveQuest]

I know they don't hold up to modern stats but Eddie Murray and Cal ripken are my all-time favorite Duo ... (double play duo's like Whittaker and Trammell would make for an interesting video)

[@mpaulm]

When talking about Mitchell’s 1989 season I’m reminded of Brett Hull’s 1991 year. He scored 86 goals, which wasn’t the record, but the next closest to him was 51. It’s the biggest gap percentage wise in NHL history but people only talk of Gretzky’s 92.

[@Dulcimerist]

Hull performed his best with Adam Oates feeding him hard passes. It's too bad St. Louis didn't shell out the money to keep Oates.

[@gcm_0]

Epic Duo 2FA reference

[@maskon1764]

Great video bro, Olsen at 53 now 😂

[@dshiesty1871]

Acunyeeeeeee for MVP

[@pranavarora9976]

Acuuuna

[@nomorefielders]

Acccccuunnnyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee *pterodactyl noises*

[@vinny1810]

have there been any amazing offensive trios? the only one i can think of are the 96 mariners with griffey, a-rod, and edgar

[@nomorefielders]

I will report back to you on this

[@nomorefielders]

So I looked up teams with mutliple players with a 150 OPS+ (Having 3 with 160 is near impossible) and I got the 1925 Tigers, 1929 Yankees, 1963 Giants, 1964 Twins, 1996 Mariners (you were right on the money), 2004 Cardinals, and 2020 Braves and Padres.

[@Zacg01]

What was the closest Ortiz/Ramirez came from 03-08?

[@slim3d]

2005. Ortiz 158 OPS+ & Manny 153 OPS+

[@Il_Exile_lI]

They achieved it in 2006. Ramirez 165, Ortiz 161.

[@michaelteret4763]

More Orioles content, please. How about the year of the 20 game winners?

[@bradenstewart6270]

Jesus would have turning balls into strikes and 5 hotdogs/2 fries into a whole stadium of food

[@WhatHappenedtoBaseball]

Does narrator NMF and Sponsored NMF make a duo?

[@nomorefielders]

Soon

[@dobe46]

0:04 that’s was towards me. I play duos!!

[@slaymyface1357]

BABE WAKE UP, ANOTHER BANGER FROM NO MORE FIELDERS

[@nomorefielders]

She been asleep for awhile

[@slaymyface1357]

@@nomorefielders I can't get her to wake up plz help 😢

[@josecampos7157]

If it was for Freddie Freeman's agent there could be a trio over 160+ OPS

[@tristonwebb7045]

Mookies 2nd best month would be Ronald’s worst or 2nd worst month. Mookie didn’t have an mvp season, he had a *historic month*. Ronald played mvp every week, every month, all season

[@elivandrisse]

5:31 Biz Markie is a hall of famer!?!?

[@charliesinferno]

Honey, wake up, No More Fielders posted again

[@philmaio2335]

I wish that Giancarlo and Judge were on this list they were destined to be a classic 1-2 punch then baseball happened :( Great video *subscribed*

[@nomorefielders]

Tbf the Yankees still got glimpses of their combined greatness. Both just got hamstrung by injuries before Giancarlo got old overnight

[@willshad]

Same can be said of Frank Thomas and Albert Belle.

[@SSJRadioBluth]

Mookie. The 3 positions thing while putting up equally ridiculous numbers blows the stolen base thing out the stadium. Like dude really played both middle infield positions. Ridiculous. Like absolutely bonkers. I don't understand how it's even a discussion but big numbers win out some time case in point Maris-Mantle. They call Rob MOOKIE like they did Mickey... can they?

[@ryanmccarthy7381]

Subscribed!

[@marioncrane09]

As a pitcher, I would rather face some of these duos than Mays and McCovey

[@kaplezedrummer24ify]

Roberto alomar and Omar Vizquel for DPs

[@baseballvids_9]

Nice vid

[@mikemenke4377]

Maris had 2 MVP's 60 and 61

[@jackrobertson1941]

I bet you worked your tailbone off making this video!

[@jaimelannister1797]

4:45 also there were way less players in the 1920s

[@Karmy.]

What about Prince Fielder and Miggy in 2012 and 2013?

[@Vahogin18]

Fielder didn't have a 160 OPS+

[@thereboot5247]

I feel like Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz back to back needs a little more recognition

[@joshgulliver6878]

Where does prince fielder and Miguel Cabreras 2012 sit on this list

[@Karmy.]

Ikr

[@nomorefielders]

Miggy: 164 OPS+ Prince: 151 OPS+

[@witgiz2868]

nice vid

[@nomorefielders]

Nice comment

[@EthanNiedorowski]

Adds on you tube can be alright 👍 well done Would love if it started the video so no break up I forget shit easy

[@InessentialMotionPictures]

I got a dynamic duo for ya right here, pal.

[@nomorefielders]

😳

[@NoNameNo.5]

I was there that day dude, Mick crushed it, 700-714 maybe

[@winner140]

David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez?

[@AndThatsBaseball]

KEVIN MITCHELL LETS GOOOOOOOOOO

[@MoshiCola]

Miggy+ Prince nuf sed

[@Yellowfver783]

Where does manny and papi 2005 rank

[@nomorefielders]

2005 Manny and Papi didn’t make it but 2006 Manny (165 OPS+) and Papi (161 OPS+) did

[@IDL716]

Cemente? 🤨

[@nomorefielders]

Stemente (Stargell + Clemente)

[@kaplezedrummer24ify]

Manny Ramirez and Albert Belle

[@kaplezedrummer24ify]

David Justice and Jim Thome

[@kaplezedrummer24ify]

Jose Ramirez/Francisco Lindor

[@marcballprogram]

I think Acuña's gonna win. But I'd rather have Mookie on my team if I had to pick one.

[@jackstraw522]

Maris won the MVP the year before come on man

[@antwan883]

Too bad the Angels ruined the Trout Ohtani duo

[@RS7Wes]

Acuña is going to win MVP

[@Jakaboyvickery]

Jesus would never wear a Yankees uniform

[@BraxtonMeyer]

acuna winning mvp.

[@adamania31]

jesus wouldve love Ryan Noda 💔

[@jedshilling4918]

Prince fielder and Miguel Cabrera was too short lived 😢

[@DemonaterTheAce]

Tom deflated

[@AndThatsBaseball]

Jesus would've been a Yankee!

[@adrianbautista2308]

Jesus would've hit dingers

[@dewildlifts]

Ronnie will win the NL MVP

[@ns1clrk]

Blah blah blah commenting for the algorithm's benefit

[@nomorefielders]

Tyty

[@knotadoctor1455]

Jesus would have dominated the modern league

[@zzptie]

MOOKIE FOR MVP

[@cjcable6995]

I agree that integration is a very important line and leaving out minority players is one of baseball's greatest sins. But what do you mean by half the player pool? The population of the US in 1920 was 90% white. Segregation definitely led to the exclusion of many incredibly talented athletes. But not enough that it would change the entire makeup of the sport that drastically.

[@ticnatz]

Cash was a cheater......

[@nomorefielders]

Everybody cheated back then

[@Mikiciko]

5:33 cringe talking about “pre-integration baseball” the way you do. If anything the guys that played before the Jackie type clowns were wrongfully allowed in MLB stats should be counted as double. The game was still pure back then and MLB would be smart going back to pre-1947 rules

[@nomorefielders]

I would really appreciate it if you stopped watching my videos
