\"\"<\/a>While the postseason is just getting underway, it will be six months until baseball returns to Chicago.\u00a0 I thought it would be a good time to revisit, for the first time in six years, the all-time rankings in both offensive and defensive categories for all iterations of the current 30 teams for the 1040 games I’ve identified that I have attended.\u00a0 We start today on the offensive side of the ball with team batting average.<\/p>\n

The newly christened Cleveland Guardians take over the top spot and join the California Angels, who I only saw live and in person twice, are the only teams to post an average over .300.\u00a0 The Washington Nationals, who, sadly, have now had thirteen games to make a mark, are still the only team to post an average under .200.\u00a0 In between, there is a slight correlation between the teams’ batting average and their record in these games, though with some surprising anomalies.<\/p>\n
