In 1901, Nap Lajoie hit .426 which is the highest average in the modern era. As we head into August 1st in 1910 in the AHBL, Ty Cobb is currently at .448, nearly 100 points higher than his nearest competitor (the surprising Jay Kirke, having a big year for Louisville). We'll see if Cobb can keep it up for the last two months of the year.
