I've just finished going through the all time rosters of every MLB team.
What I have also done, but not published, is use my cross comparative WAR metric to select the best single season for all the members of those rosters.
From that pool, best single seasons from the All Time rosters of every MLB team from the All Time 40 Man Rosters (the Astros are in the AL, Brewers in NL, for these purposes). Each team has to have a representative.
