Led NL in Batting Average in 1985 (.353) and 1990 (.335). When he won the NL title in 1990, he did not lead the Major Leagues in hitting. He was traded to the American League's Oakland A's before the end of the 1990 Season and hit .274 for the rest of the year. This caused his overall average to dip to 324. Since he switched leagues and had enough at bats to qualify for the title at the time of the trade, his NL average remained frozen at .335. Eddie Murray, who hit .330 for the Los Angeles Dodgers and finished Second in the NL batting race is considered to have led the Major Leagues in hitting in 1990.
