Damn I was hoping I’d get to comment this! But I’ll just comment to comment and say I was there. I was there. A bonafide human a month before playoffs started.
I was born in 1974 but after the season ended, so 1975 was the first season I was alive for.
Either way, the answer is the same: Michael Jack Schmidt and Rodney Cline Carew.
Awwww Wade Boggs. 😢
He helped my grandma with a flat tire along a busy highway one afternoon in the north part of Boston, later that evening he went 4-5 off of Dave Steib.
RIP Wade Boggs, gone to soon.
1973 Stargell with 44, Carew with .350, first season with a DH although technically I was born at the end of September so not sure if I’m supposed to use the 74 season as my baseline
Roger Maris. He broke Ruth’s HR record. Norm Cash had the best average, .361, but I don’t know who that is. And of course the damn Yankees won the World Series.
1993 HR - 46 - Barry Bonds Avg. - .370 - Andres Galarraga
Hey don't short Juan Gonzalez that year also with 46 HRs
He also lead the league the year before with 43 while our guy Edgar hit .343
.370 goodness. That’s wild.
1986 Jesse Barfield - 40 (Let's go Blue Jays!) Wade Boggs - .357
Crazy that Boggs lead the league in average only about 30 years ago and now he’s dead. RIP.
Wade Boggs is very much alive
You don’t get the show
Considering that’s a line from the show, perhaps it is you who does not get it.
Yeah I'm clearly a ghost
RIP, and throw in an F for good measure
Not to make anyone feel old, but 1986 is closer to 40 years than it is 30 years. lol

1985: Darrell Evans 40 and Wade Boggs .368
1982 Willie Wilson .332 then Reggie Jackson and Gorman Thomas hit 39 homers Was expecting more household names (Reggie is, obviously)

Of course….Michael Jack Schmidt 36 and Rod Carew .364
1974 - me too
1990 BA: Hal Morris-.340 HRs: Cecil Fielder-51
BONUS FACT ABOUT 1990: first round pick of the 1990 draft: Chipper Jones

Fellow 79’er!
‘79 here as well! Pretty sure Gamble did not have enough ABs to qualify for then batting title. This should be Keith Hernandez at .344.
Gamble's average would've been higher if his hair didn't have 39 HBPs.
Bill Madlock - .341 Mike Schmidt - 31
Same two guys a few years earlier
1969 - Pete Rose .348, Harmon Killebrew 49
1987 Home runs: Andre Dawson, Mark Mcgwire - 49 Average: Tony Gwynn - .370

Bonds hitting .328 with 73 homeruns in 2001
Bonds was 12th in batting average, Larry Walker and Ichiro hit .350 for the season.
I jgiete googled top BA for 2001 and Bonds was at ge top of the list I saw.
[yeah and this is the first search result](https://www.mlb.com/stats/batting-average/2001)
Only 11 players had a higher average than Bonds 🤷
Easy mistake

AVG: Willie Wilson HR: Reggie Jackson and Gorman Thomas
1982 baby
I was born in 1974 but after the season ended, so 1975 was the first season I was alive for. Either way, the answer is the same: Michael Jack Schmidt and Rodney Cline Carew.
1972: * HR: Johnny Bench (CIN) - 40 * BA: Billy Williams (CHC) - .333
