It's been a real long time. Eddie Collins was the only player so far to hit over .400 and he did it twice - .406 in 1921, and .410 in 1925. Last year was the closest anyone has gotten since, with Frank Thomas hitting .375.
So Jeter has been pretty impressive, especially as a rookie. He's got roughly a 90 point lead over the next closest hitter in the NL, and Griffey is leading the AL with a .370 average.
