Nap's best year was probably 1901. He hit .351/.391/.500, 32 doubles, 11 triples, 10 HR, 89 R, 78 RBI, 19 SB with 6.8 WAR. That was by far his best batting average, ,with his next best being .334 in 1903. From 1905 to 1910, he only hit over .300 once at .309, but then all of a sudden, he started hitting better again as he hit .318, .325 and .316 in his age 36-38 seasons....then he dropped to .252 in his final year. A pretty nice late career resurgence, though! Nap's biggest strength relative to the rest of the league was hitting doubles, as he led the league 7 times.

Nap never won a title with the A's, which is always hard to take for a player at his level. Individually, he won 4 Silver Sluggers, was a 9-time All-Star and won 1 MVP award. He was elected to the HOF in 1920 with 97.3% of the vote.
