Omar Barron Wins AL Batting Title: Batting titles are tough to come by. It takes a lot of talent, hard work, consistency, few slumps, good health and a little luck.
Omar Barron of the Texas A&M Aggies put it all together this year and led the American League with a .372 batting average (239-for-642).
The Aggies right fielder played in 158 games, ending the season with 47 doubles, 9 triples, 29 home runs, 94 runs and 85 runs batted in.
"When you work hard, good things happen," Barron explained to reporters after winning the coveted award. "Slumps happen to everyone, but you won't break out of one without hard work. I think that's one of the prime reasons for my success this season."
