It's odd that most lists don't include the Nat'l Association players (Barnes, Meyerle, and McVey, for example), but show the Negro League guys. Neither league really played that many games, so neither should really count IMO. But cool to see the NA guys here. Man, Willie Keeler was up to .385 around 1900! Then Barnes and Meyerle take the top 2 spots again!
Tony Gwynn had a 338 lifetime avg the only modern player just outside this list.
I totally didn't miss Ichiro's brief appearance, cuz im Japanese and all.
Ty Cobb really was built different
Around 1930 Chuck Klein briefly took over the lead from Cobb.
I love these videos.
Ross Barnes hanging in there until 1912.
I always wondered who leaded the league in these statistics back in the days
To think it has been nearly 100 years since Cobb retired and he still owns the record.
Barnes retired in 1882 and is 2nd still!
Ichiro! Ichiro!
Where is Tony Gwynn, ever? I swear I have never seen his name in any of these baseball vids 🤔 I always thought he dominated the plate
He should be on the Hits version, i swear I saw him on there briefly.
@@robertanderson2898 That’s cool, I checked once & he was just outside of being shown for that particular video. Gone too soon, regardless. Legend 🏆
For sure, he could hit everything. Yeah I just watched the Hits video, guess he's not on there.@@mitchell3944
