The Decade of the 1960s who was the best player of major league? We will find out by taking a look at a few major offensive categories.
Once again, we are going only to look at every day players. We can decide who the best pitcher was another time. And this will also be based on hitting. All these players were huge defensive players.
We will start with the big one. Who hit the most home runs in the 1960s? It may surprise you to learn that Harmon Killebrew made. Killer went deep 393 times. Henry Aaron was just behind him with 375 distributed round and Willie Mays was third in the Decade, with 350 home runs. Frank Robinson added 316.
Another important to look at category is runs flows into. Hank Aaron has opened the way by hitting in 1 107 runs during the 1960s. Killebrew was second with deserters and Frank Robinson was third with 1 011. Mays led in 1,003 runs in the 1960s and Roberto Clemente was 862.
Clemente had the most hits in the decade with 1,877. Aaron comes in second position with 1819 hits. Brooks Robinson collected 1,692 hits of the 1960s and Mays had 1 635.
Now take a blow of eye-batting average. Again, Clemente has above average batting a.328 during the 1960s. Pete Rose followed second at.309 and Aaron still at.308. Frank Robinson for ten years and Mays hit.300 batted.304.
Return number of power. Slugging percentage. Hank Aaron was the first at.565 followed by Frank Robinson with.560. Slugged.559 Mays and Killebrew finished fourth with a.546 slugging percentage.
Brooks Robinson played in the but games in the 1960s. It is the first. Aaron was second playing the Games 1 540 followed by Ron Santo and Mays.
The last thing we will examine is runs scored. Hank Aaron marked more by crossing plate 1091 times during the 1960s. Willie Mays was second with 1 050 runs. Frank Robinson registered 1,013 times and 916 Clemente.
While we here have. Eight offensive categories Hank Aaron and Willie Mays are the only players in all categories. But Frank Robinson and Harmon Killebrew had a pretty good decade, too. And, of course, Roberto Clemente has the most success and the best batting average.
And also, Frank Robinson won two Most Valuable Player Awards in the 1960s. One in each League. It is the only player to win the MVP trophy in the two leagues.
And each of these players are in the Hall of Fame Baseball.
Based on this but, I think that it must be concluded that Hammerin Henry Aaron was the best player in the Decade of the 1960s. I know secretly as a fan of Roberto Clemente long life that it was better. But for the moment, we are going with Aaron.
