OK, not quite in the pantheon of stars with these other guys, but I always thought that Ted Kluszewski's 1952-1956 stretch merited mention. The BA, HRs, and RBIs are eright up there with any combo of average and power, but then check out the strike out totals, which are miniscule.
In addition, you gotta give it up for the guns.

I have to write about Big Klu today(his trade from the Pirates happened on this date) so I'm going to start my story by saying "According to baseball historian Kenny Cohen, Ted's five year stretch..." and then I'll end it with the quote at the end "You gotta give it up for the guns"

What about Dan Brouthers from 1882-87(six years) leading the league in OPS every single season while guys like Cap Anson, King Kelly and Roger Connor were all established players finishing 2nd or 3rd most of that time. That would be beating out guys considered the best overall 19th century player, best during his era and the all-time home run king until beaten by Ruth. There was Brouthers though, putting up the best OPS every single year for six years straight
