I’ve given you guys some really tough quizzes in the last while, so here’s an easier one (I think).
After the jump is a list of sluggers. What distinguishes this group of players among all batters since 1901?
Congratulations to Stuart and Richard Chester! They identified that the hitters in this quiz all have at least 3 qualifying seasons with more extra-base hits than singles. Sixty-eight other hitters have one or two such seasons. All of these seasons are here.
