1960s – The best hitters of the 1960s found a way to still be effective against the outstanding pitching that was characteristic of the decade. The everyday hitters didn’t fare as well, however, as was reflected in anemic team slugging averages that rivaled those of the talent-depleted 1940s. In fact, the combined major league slugging average of .374 for the 1960s was only 10 percentage points higher than the .364 average for the 1940s – and 17 percentage points lower than the combined slugging average for the 1950s.

Who almost made the list? Baltimore Orioles at .383, St. Louis Cardinals at .382, New York Yankees at .380.
