42. Heinie Zimmerman

Heinie Zimmerman was a member of the Chicago Cubs World Series Champions in 1907 and 1908, but this was early in his career, and he didn't play much for the Cubs at the time. Instead, he would come into his own in the early 1910s, and in 1912 specifically, he would win the Triple Crown with a stellar .372 Batting Average.  Zimmerman would also lead the National League in Hits (207), Doubles (41), and Slugging Percentage (.571) but amazingly only finished sixth in MVP voting.  Zimmerman would have two other .300 seasons, and overall as a Cub, he would bat .304 with 1,112 Hits.  Had he a better On Base Percentage (.343), he would probably be a few spots higher on this list.

Zimmerman entered the Cubs Hall of Fame as part of the first class in 2021.
