Tuck Turner, a part-time player for most of his six-year major-league career, hit .418 for the 1894 Philadelphia Phillies, the ninth highest average of all time … but only second best that season, behind Hugh Duffy’s .440.
Turner went 11 straight games with multiple hits. The next season he hit .386. But the Phillies traded him to the Cardinals, and two years later he was back in the minor leagues, leaving behind a lifetime average of .320.
