No idea, so I won't even try, but I'm shocked Steve Garvey has more than one...

I was surprised he was in that list as well.

 

[gt2590]

I knew he had alot of "knock ups" but didn't realize he was that prolific with the baseball bat...

Is that just a random list of some of the top 200-hit club members?
Because Charlie Gehringer is not there and he had seven 200-hit seasons.

It looks like Garvey only had a career .329 OBP so he definitely liked to hack rather than take walks.

Yes, there are roughly twice as many, but I picked the 10 players that people are most familiar with.

0 for 10 is currently in the lead, so you have a decent shot at taking the top spot right now.

I looked, so I can't guess, but I just realized that Ted Williams never had a 200-hit season despite six batting titles and a .344 career average. It's because he walked so much (led 8 times in walks).
It's just weird that Ted Williams never did it but Juan Pierre has done it four times.

....as you noted his walks were the main reason- also only played 154 game seasons.

Not bad, 5 out of 10.

I guess you guys were not following baseball in the 70s. It was almost automatic for him to have 200+ per year in his prime.

I was surprised he was in that list as well.

 

[mrmopar]

Garvey went for more HRs the year he and his 3 teammates each hit 30+ and his hit total and BA slipped below 200/.300 for the first time in three years

Although Garvey was a bit past his prime when he came to San Diego, he did have the biggest hit in Padre history.
