Title In Three Decades

Who is the only player to win a Batting Title (AVG) in three decades?

Xanadu Dragon · 01-07-2002, 11:00 AM

Wow! This is a better question than it first appears.

Xanadu Dragon · 01-07-2002, 11:05 AM

It's amazing what you forget - - - I have a friend who even has this on a T-Shirt! Cover me with pine-tar and feather me.

ChicagoDave · 01-07-2002, 11:38 AM

You have the answer. What were the years?

Xanadu Dragon · 01-07-2002, 11:52 AM

I know I have the answer - - figured I'd give someone else a shot at it.

Nice clue, XD.

George Brett - '76, '80, and '90.

ESPN Classic will be playing the pine tar game tonight(1-7-01) at 8 central time.

Very Good Duque!

I would have originally thought Ted Williams or Ty Cobb would have done it also.

If memory serves, don't they replay the 9th inning and KC offically wins the game?

Yeah - - be sure to check out the 2B and CF for NY in that 9th inning do over.

Also remember to watch for the protest at the beginning of the do over

I can't take credit - XD's "pine-tar and feather me" clue gave it away, so it was just a matter of double-checking on which years Brett won the batting title.

My first guess would've been Musial or Cobb.
