July 12, 200521 yr How often does a team lead the league in batting average and not make the playoffs? Do any of you junior statisticians know, or can you find out?
July 12, 200521 yr I'd imagine not often, but it should be pointed out that average ranks behind a number of other batting statistics in their corollation to runs scored (not to mention winning percentage).
July 12, 200521 yr Oh I know. I'm just curious...I would think it wouldn't happen that often. Anyone?
July 12, 200521 yr 2001 Colorado Rockies. In 2000 the Rockies, Indians and Royals did it. It happens every 3 or 4 years actually.
