in 1887, o'neill rewrote the major league batting record book in just 124 games. that year, he won the american association triple crown with a .435 batting average, 14 home runs and 123 rbis. his batting average was originally recorded at .492, bases on balls having been counted as hits during that season. at the time of his death in 1915, his unadjusted .492 average was recorded as the highest in major league history. subsequently, batting averages for the 1887 season were adjusted by removing bases on balls from the calculations. even after that adjustment, o'neill's 1887 batting average of .435 was a major league record until 1894 when hugh duffy established the current major league record by hitting .440. o'neill's adjusted average for 1887 remains the second highest single season batting average in major league history.
