This record still stands, and likely will not be broken because of specialized pitching.
1969 was Rich Reese's career year. He ended up hitting .322 for the Western Division winning Minnesota Twins. The Twins were defeated by the Orioles en route to the 1969 World Series with the NY Mets.
After his baseball career ended, Rich Reese became a superstar in the business world. He began selling Hamm's beer, but transitioned over to Bacardi, where he worked his way all the way up to President and CEO. Pretty remarkable!
