Since Brett hit .390 in 1980, nobody has ever averaged above that, or even close really since him. And the last person to average higher than George was Ted Williams in 1941, who hit .406 that year.

one of my favorite stats from brett
Tony Gwynn hit .394 in 1994

Highest batting average in the AL since Teddy Ballgame

Is it "official" by the standards Brett achieved since '94 was a strike shortened year?

Yeah no shit. If they would have had all the games, he probably would have ended up well over .400

Heh, true, especially considering the tear he was on to end that season, iirc. Pitchers just literally couldn't get him out.

What's interesting about those Brett and Gwynn years were they both had a low number of plate appearances to qualify for the title. Brett missed a lot of games in 1980 and Gwynn was cut short by the strike. Would they have been able to maintain the high avg with more at bats and games played?

Or he could have had a 2 month dry spell at the plate diminishing his average :)

Never really thought of Gwynn as a guy who hit the ball too terribly hard.

Gwynn played in 7 fewer games in '94 than Brett did in '80

Cool Stat. Brett had 118 RBI in only 117 Games Played in '80.
