  In 1941, his first full season, Pete Reiser became the youngest batting champion in history, winning the NL title with a.343 average, and led the league in runs, doubles, triples, total bases, and slugging average. By July of 1942, the popular Brooklyn outfielder was flirting with.400 and was easily baseball's fastest rising star.
