Did you search and crunch that numbers or is it listed somewhere in a baseball almanac?

Who were other players that had high percentages of total team runs?

Not nearly good enough in math to figure it out.

If I can find the reference again I will list them. I recall there was a player who came very close to Nate's. I just don't remember who it was.

Tony and Nate never played together, but if they did, I suspect Nate's percentage would have been signifiantly lower:

• Gwynn owns all-time Padres records for batting average, runs, hits, total bases, doubles, triples, RBIs, walks, stolen bases and games played.

• If Gwynn’s 20-year career were split into two careers, 10 seasons apiece, he would rank first and second in franchise history in runs, hits, total bases and doubles.
