I would bet the Williams, Mantle and Bonds are also on that list.

Mantle did it twice. (BS)
Williams did it twice. (That makes at least three people.) He also hit it in 1955, but while he got over 400 ABs he only played 98 games - not sure if that qualifies. (BS)
Bonds did it twice. (That makes four.) (BS)

Ruth was 8 times! He and Bonds were close to it for their lifetime stats. (YG)
Gehrig was 4 times. (That's six people who did it twice or more. Maybe he meant exactly twice?) (YG)
Jimmy Foxx 3 times. (That's seven!) (BS)
Hornsby 3 times (J)
DiMaggio once. (YG)
Manny once. (YG)
Frank Thomas once. (YG)
Belle once, in 106 games in 1994. Does that count? (YG)
George Brett once. (J)
Norm Cash once. (J)


ARod never made it.

Cobb might have snuck in.

And did - not even sneaking.
.420 .467 .621

47 doubles, 4 triples, 8 homers
.650 slugging. He was .029 short in 1911.

Reading glasses! I need reading glasses. (Well, no, just remembering what I was looking for - that was why I copied the thing!)

Slugged .643 his best year. Just shy.

Hank Greenberg? Al Kaline?

We're now at 13 of the twelve who have ever done it.

Or is it only 12 because Belle's 106 games don't count?

Bets there are more?

Seems like a good one to me, given the miss on how many had done it twice (three people) or more than once (seven).

Norm Cash was a helluva pluck.

I remember his '61 almost entirely for his .361 and batting title, his career year.

That was a career year along the lines of a Brady Anderson career year. Expansion = peds?

Cork.

Though, of course, he used cork for most of his career, so it really does not.explain .361.

I thought perhaps Shoeless Joe, Lefty O'Doul, Babe Herman, or maybe Al Simmons.

Babe Herman was a winner, in 1930!
