The official league awards were to be handed out at the “play off” game, but the crowd made that impossible. Instead President McCormick held a hastily arranged dinner to give out the honors.
Darryl Weisenburger of Chicago wins his second batting title with a .406 average; he also set a record for hits in a season with 142. Rodney Stollings of Brooklyn lead the league in runs with 67 and long hits with 56 (18 more than runner up Steve Arnold of Boston). His record setting 43 doubles contributing to both totals. Many writers would acclaim Stollings “Batsman of the year”. Steve Alves of Chicago lead the league with 21 extra bases his 4th title. That Chicago could finish so far back with two top performers calls into question the acumen of Obie McCormick.
All was not gloom for the Quakers, as Leghorn Sapp was given the award for lowest responsible runs allowed at 2.76. Marquis Nicolet of Brooklyn earned the maximum by winning 20 games and hurling 260.1 innings. Edgar Fahey of Cincinnati struck out 55 batters to lead the league in that category.
