Joe Torre, mirroring his RBI total is on a tear and hits a career high of .363.....Twenty eight points higher than his next best season..... While his BA is a respectable .289 in 1972 it is a major decline ....returns to the .300 level, hitting .306 as a part timer after 1976.....Ralph Garr a bright newcomer brought in speed to beat out many hits....Ralph just outside of rookie status hit .343....turned out to be his second best number in his career.....Garr continues his excellent salad days hitting with a NL leading .356 mark in 1974....line drive hitter Glenn Beckert shines by well exceeded his previous best batting average by 48 points to finish at a .342 mark....Beckert would follow up by hitting .270 in 1972.
The last of the 12 "leader" cards. Kind of glad about that...
