Shoeless Joe towered over everybody else in the National League in 1946. He led the league in R (125), H (239), 2B (51), 3B (13), AVG (.376), OBP (.442), OPS (1.066), and position player WAR (9.8). He also belted 27 HR and knocked in 119. Not bad considering it was his first go around in a new league. He now (as of 1955) has 12 batting titles to his name. Twelve! He has played 20 seasons and in five of those seasons, he did not qualify for the batting title. In other words he's won 12 out of the 15 batting titles he was eligible to win. Geez!
