But Anson in 22 years of service at the rela- base had a grand batting average of .341, That average was swelled by the ridiculous season of 1887, when a base on balls counted as a hit. out such an unfair advantage bat- "Last season Napoleon Lajoie still | tively much gasier position of first That season Anson reached his | prime, batting for .421.
