Trivia - Hits per Decade. With a Prize!
I just saw an offshoot of this on my local Facebook B/S/T page, and thought it would make an interesting trivia question here. Of course, there must be NO CHEATING or it will be ruined for everyone. Starting in the 1880s and running through the 2000s, which baseball player had the most hits per decade? Some of these answers are fairly easy, while others are pretty surprising.
Reply using the format below. Answers may be discussed and amended through Friday at 9pm eastern, and then all entries become final. Whoever has the most correct answers out of the 13 possible will win a prewar card of my choosing (which will probably be a well-loved common worth about $10...so don't get too excited). If the winner does not want the card, it will be randomed off to all participants.
Tiebreaker question: What was the average number of hits per decade that the top player had? Please include the answer to this question in your entry.
