Ruth Leads NL Hitters
Monday, October 3rd, 1927
The best batter in the National League in 1927 was Babe Ruth of Brooklyn. He earned the the batting title with 216 hits in 585 at-bats for a .369 average, outpacing all his peers. Playing in 150 games, the 32-year-old center fielder also chalked up 34 doubles, 9 triples, 52 home runs, 149 RBIs and scored 156 runs.
Goslin Bats .401 for the Year
Monday, October 3rd, 1927
It might look like a typo in this season's stats reports. But the .401 next to the name of Goose Goslin is no mistake. That's his batting average for the recently completed season. Goslin is the newest member of baseball's .400 club.
The Boston left fielder tried to downplay the achievement. "It's just a number," he said. Then he admitted with a grin: "Okay, it's a big number!"
That number puts Goslin in the record books with some of the game's great players.
His other stats during this remarkable season include 250 hits, 35 doubles, 24 triples, 15 home runs, 134 runs and 114 RBIs.
