He was Ted Williams before Ted Williams. I was searching for the Percentage Triple Crown (BA, OBP and SLG) and the top players to have accomplished it goes like this:
1. Roger Hornsby --- 7 Times
2. Ted Williams --- 5 Times
3. Honus Wagner --- 4 Times
4. Ty Cobb --- 3 Times
5. Nap Lajoie --- 2 Times
(Tied). Stan Musial --- 2 Times
(Tied). Barry Bonds --- 2 Times
This guy owned this stat. He was the NL version of Babe Ruth. I already know BBF's position for Rajah, and being top 15 isn't shabby. The thing is, why we rate Teddy Ballgame so high, when this guy, due to position, can compare favorably to him?
