Shoeless Joe Jackson has just won his
10th batting title in his age 30 season. He has now played 14 seasons of big league baseball. In three of those seasons, he did not qualify for the batting title. I guess what I'm saying is, when he qualifies for a batting title, he wins it.
The only time he didn't win a batting title was 1948, when he finished 2nd to Home Run Baker (who went .368, 41 HR, 131 RBI that year - won the triple crown and the MVP) in batting average in the NL with a .332 mark. Geez!
