Forget the fact that he was the only man in the entire American League to hit .300. The second place finisher, Danny Carter, hit .290. Maybe Mauer's .328 AVG was a bit low because the pitching in the AL that year was that good? Christian Yelich won the batting title this year hitting .326. He was lucky, too, right? Nevermind he was two home runs, and 1 RBI shy of the first Triple Crown in the National League in over 80 years! Context is needed in evaluating statistics. Clearly you don't get it.
