On Stan Musial (the Second Best Hitter of All Time After Ted Williams) Leading the National League In Slugging In 1943 (.562) and 1944 (.549) After Having Hit Just 13 and 12 Homers Respectively

Yeah, it seems a bit strange but when you factor in the guy's doubles (48 and 51), triples (20 and 14), and the fact that he batted .357 and .347 respectively for those two years, it starts to make some sense. Still amazing, though, huh?....................................................................................................................P.S. And, yes, as Mr. Musial got older (he was only in his early 20s in '43 and '44) he also started hitting more homers and if you think that the above slugging percentages are high, how does .702 (in 1948) suit you? Rad, huh?
