Josh Gibson's dominant 1943 Negro Leagues season

Josh Gibson posted one of the most statistically dominant seasons in baseball history in 1943: a .517 batting average in 57 games, 22 home runs (more than the next three players combined), with 33 doubles and 8 triples for the Homestead Grays. His 10 home runs at Griffith Stadium alone exceeded the full-season total of the Washington Senators sharing the same park.
