After flying out as a pinch-hitter, Red Sox third baseman Wade Boggs completes the season hitting .332 to finish each of the first ten seasons of his career with a batting average above .300. Al Simmons, accomplishing the feat in the first 11 seasons of his career with the A’s and the White Sox from 1924-34, and Pirate outfielder Paul Waner, reaching the milestone for a dozen consecutive seasons beginning in 1926, are the only players with the longer streaks than the Boston infielder, who has compiled a .345 average during the past decade.
