Hornsby won the triple crown, leading the league in almost every batting category including batting average (.401), home runs (42, a National League record at the time), RBI (152), slugging average (.722, another record at the time), on-base percentage (.459), doubles (46), hits (250, again the highest in National League history to that point), and runs scored (141).
