What about Dan Brouthers from 1882-87(six years) leading the league in OPS every single season while guys like Cap Anson, King Kelly and Roger Connor were all established players finishing 2nd or 3rd most of that time. That would be beating out guys considered the best overall 19th century player, best during his era and the all-time home run king until beaten by Ruth. There was Brouthers though, putting up the best OPS every single year for six years straight
