Part I

Is not the king’s name twenty thousand names?
Arm, arm, my name! A puny subject strikes
At thy great glory.
—William "Author" Shakespeare, "J.R." Richard III

[A]nd holy is his name... He has shown strength with his arm
—The Bible, New Testament, "Matt" Luke 1:46-55.

But I just hadda show 'im. Just hadda show those creeps and those punks what the game is like when it's great, when it's REALLY great. You know, like anything can be great, anything can be great. I don't care, BRICKLAYING can be great, if a guy knows. If he knows what he's doing and why and if he can make it come off. When I'm goin', I mean, when I'm REALLY goin' I feel like a... like a jockey must feel. He's sittin' on his horse, he's got all that speed and that power underneath him... he's comin' into the stretch, the pressure's on 'im, and he KNOWS... just feels... when to let it go and how much. Cause he's got everything workin' for 'im, timing touch... it's a great feeling, boy, it's a real great feeling when you're right and you KNOW you're right. It's like all of a sudden I got oil in my arm…I can play that game the way... NOBODY'S ever played it before.
—Fast Eddie, The Hustler

So say Hey Willie tell the Cobb
And Joe DiMaggio
Don't say it ain't so
You know the time is now

Put me in Coach
I'm ready to play today
Put me in Coach
I'm ready to play today
Look at me
I can be
Centerfield
—John "Jim" Fogarty

The Results

First, let's start with putouts. Below are the best years overall for an outfielder (by position) for putouts above expected. You'll notice that there are a large number of players from the early days of baseball because of the great disparity in fielding talent at the time. Therefore, I am splitting out the best years by decade as well.

You'll also notice that there are still a good number of left fielders in the mix, probably due to the fact that it's easier to find a poor fielder in left so therefore, it's easier to stand out there as well—the talent has not been entirely compressed as yet.

They are sorted by the putouts per game above expected (Note: AE is "Above Expected"; Min. 50 games):
