BTW - Hornsby also led the league all 5 years in OBP, Slugging, and OPS as well, usually by significant margins over the runner-up. His numbers were both impressive and consistent over the 1921-25 period.

Bonds led the league in batting in 2002 and 2004, was 3rd in 2003, not in the top 5 in 2000 or 2001. Helton led the league in OBP, SLG and OPS in 2000, with Bonds 2nd. Bonds took these three categories in 2001-2004.

Here's Hornsby's avg with 1921 included.

1921 - Hornsby .397, runner-up .352
1922 - Hornsby .401, runner-up .354
1923 - Hornsby .384, runner-up .371
