Most seasons leading the league all 4 of the slashline categories:

T1. Babe Ruth, 37 (1x AVG, 10x OBP, 13x SLG, 13x OPS)

T1. Ted Williams, 37 (6x AVG, 12x OBP, 9x SLG, 10x OPS)

T2. Ty Cobb, 36 (12x AVG, 7x OBP, 8x SLG, 9x OPS)

T2. Rogers Hornsby, 36 (7x AVG, 9x OBP, 9x SLG, 11x OPS)

T3. Stan Musial, 26 (7x AVG, 6x OBP, 6x SLG, 7x OPS)

T3. Honus Wagner, 26 (8x AVG, 4x OBP, 6x SLG, 8x OPS)

Nice list, but Cobb led the league in OPS 10 times, not 9, so he's actually tied with Ruth and Williams. He led from 1907-1912, 1914-1915, 1917, and 1925, at age 38!

I wonder who the other Tiger is, in this image that perhaps was snapped during the 1909 WS.

15 Tigers players in the WS with Cobb. Wish the player was standing with his face to the camera.

Here?s a painting of Ty Cobb sliding into Jimmy Austin of the New York Highlanders, July 23, 1910. The piece is based on one of the most recognizable photos in sports history, courtesy of the great Charles Conlon.
