Ty Cobb, Rod Carew, Ted Williams, Tris Speaker, Honus Wagner, Joe DiMaggio, Rogers Hornsby, George Brett, Roberto Clemente, Stan Musial, Tony Gwynn in the HoF.
Not in - Pete Rose & Joe Jackson
Great response! You hit on Cobb (12), Carew (7), Williams (6), Wagner (8), Hornsby (7) Musial (7), Gwynn (8), Clemente (4)
Close: Rose (3), Brett (3), DiMaggio (2), Speaker (1)
Four more:
- Former 19th century player, played one season for the Giants in the 20th century
- Former Giant for a few years. 3B
- Born in San Francisco, Sacred Heart HS, played for Detroit, hit between .393 and .403 in his four batting titles.
- One recent player had four batting titles in five years, known as an HR hitter.
Shoeless Joe Jackson never won a batting title. Second highest career average, never won the batting title, not even when he hit .387 (Cobb, .419), .408 (Cobb, .409), .395 (Cobb, .398), .382 (Sisler, .407, Speaker, .388)
Based on the hints, how about Bill Madlock (not in the Hall) and Harry Heilmann?
