Shortstop: most Met or Yankee RBI in a season.

Francisco Lindor has 84 RBI so far this season. It was mentioned during last night's Met game at Yankee Stadium that Lindor already has the most RBI of any Met shortstop ever. I wondered if any Yankee shortstop ever had at least 100 RBI. But first the Met SS (at least 75% of games at SS) with the most RBI in a season (at least 57 RBI got us the top 10):
