Nineteen oh-one, and Napoleon "Nap" Lajoie hit .426 for Connie Mack's Athletics — a SkillScore peak of one hundred fifty-eight point nine six that still sits in the American League air like a dare. Two hundred thirty-two hits. Fourteen home runs. One hundred twenty-five ribbies. The three frames ahead keep the .426 thunder loud.
.426 CLIP
A .426 avalanche for the Athletics — Nap made the brand-new AL keep honest books.
14 HOMERS
Fourteen home runs in dead-ball air — long-ball thunder before the live ball was born.
A'S THUNDER
Connie Mack flannel and a cleanup stroke that rented every gap in Philadelphia.
