Slump in 1926 Batting Marks Turn in AL Records

National League Averages show a gradual decline in power across the American League with 1926 figures lagging behind 1921 and 1925. Detroit led batting in 1921 at .316, while Boston fell to .256 in 1924. 1926 saw Boston drop again and overall league hits, home runs, and stolen bases retreat from earlier peaks. Tenry Manush rose to lead Detroit, Babe Ruth led in homers with 47, and George Burns of Cleveland set a club single with 64 base hits as trends reflected a broader downturn in offensive output.
