Shoeless Joe probably had either too many walks or missed too many games in his super high average seasons.

Boggs probably came close.

Didn't Babe Herman have one of those one-off super seasons in the 30s which were a hitter's decade if there ever was one?

I'm done, I'll look it up after this.

Shoeless Joe Jackson came close with 233 and 226 hits in 1911 and 12 with Cleveland, and had 218 in his final season with the Black Sox. He played in 147 games in 1911 with 56 walks, and all 154 games with 58 walks in 1912.

Boggs is tied with the highest in the last 93 years (other than Ichiro) with 240 hits in 1985.

Babe Herman hit 241 in 1930.

All great guesses

I should have known one of the two remaining, I never would have guessed the other one. Good trivia question.

So in addition to Ichiro and Sisler, 3 of the 5 other players to amass 250 hits in one season have been named: Bill Terry, Rogers Hornsby and Al Simmons.

Two more players remain.

Clue #1: George Sisler helped usher in the live-ball era by gathering 257 hits in 1920. All of the other players to compile 250 hits in a season besides Ichiro did it within 10 years after Sisler.
