Lawrence Azrin August 26, 2013 at 10:41 am @1/mosc, …and Boggs also had a 162 game stretch (in 1985/86?) hitting .400 on the nose? Reply ↓
Richard Chester August 26, 2013 at 11:10 am . For the 162 game period ending 6-6-86 Boggs hit .401. Reply ↓

birtelcom August 26, 2013 at 11:09 am I count Roger Maris with 64 homers from May 17, 1961 through May 13, 1962, which I think comes out to a period over which 160 Yankee games were played. Through the first 28 Yankee games in 1961, Maris had a total of 3 homers for the season. Reply ↓

birtelcom August 26, 2013 at 11:25 am Keep in mind that Chris’s 61 homers over 162 games played came over a period in which his team played, by my count, 169 games. Reply ↓
Jacob August 26, 2013 at 4:27 pm Thx. I’d completely forgotten about Davis, what with Miguel Cabrera eclipsing every AL batter this year. Reply ↓
Joseph August 26, 2013 at 8:28 pm Not sure what the point of this is. I think Barry Bonds hit 80 HRs from April 12, 2001 through April 19, 2002. Reply ↓
Joseph August 26, 2013 at 8:39 pm Rogers Hornsby hit .402 from Sept. 2, 1920 through May 1, 1926. 742 games. Reply ↓
