- Leading the league in anything for seven straight years is quite an accomplishment.
- The closest streaks I could find were:
- Walter Johnson - AL strikeout leader for 8 straight years (1912-1919)
- Dazzy Vance - NL strikeout leader for 7 straight seasons (1922-1928)
- Lefty Grove - AL strikeout leader for 7 straight years (1925-1931)
- Rogers Hornsby - NL Batting Average leader for 6 years in a row (1920-1925)
- Ty Cobb led the AL in batting average every year from 1907-1919 except for 1910 (Nap Lajoie led) and 1916 (Tris Speaker was the BA champion).
- Sandy Koufax - NL ERA leader for 5 straight years (1962-1966)
This blog covers all things baseball in 1977. Baseball cards from that year is a main focus of the site.
