Happy 40th birthday to four-time National League All-Star, two-time Silver Slugger and 2017 N.L. batting champion, Charlie Blackmon!
Blackmon played 14 Big League seasons, all with the Colorado Rockies. He made his MLB debut in 2011, but didn’t play more than 82 games in a season until his first All-Star campaign in 2013. His best individual season came in 2017, when he led all of baseball in runs, hits and triples while also bashing a career-high 37 home runs en route to the N.L. batting title.Â
2017 also started a three All-Star-season streak, hitting over .300 for the final time in a full-length season (he’d also hit .303 in the COVID-shortened-2020 campaign).
Blackmon would hang around as a serviceable Major Leaguer until he hung up his spikes at 37, never registering a negative-WAR season outside of his 27 games in 2011.Â
Which brings us to today’s quiz. How many of the players to finish with the highest batting averages in the American and National League since 2003 can you name in six minutes?
Good luck!
