Joe,
Thanks for the edits/corrections and for reading Baseball Roundtable. My apologies for the sloppy editing. I better get new glasses. I have incorporated all your changes except one. I left George Davis in the number-three, single-season RBI spot. To account for the Negro Leagues short season, I added a note listing the single-season leaders in batting average for seasons in which their teams played 100 or more games.
Thanks again, for reading BBRT and for taking the time to contact me with the info. I appreciate it.
David K

Murray hit 19 grand slams not 29. Teixeira had 43 homers in 2005 not 3. Pete Rose played from 1963-1986, not 1951-1968 (table wrong but text correct). The batting average leaders only include negro league players. While they are now official MLB stats, records for MLB players should have been included (in addition, if not instead of). RBI stats before 1920 were not official, but were tracked back to 1907, so pre-1900 stats should not be included. Thanks for the great research.
