"Another big difference back then was you always had to worry about getting drilled. They'd knock you down if you took a good swing. There also was a lot of bench jockeying going on back then that doesn't go on today. Even the managers did it. I hit a three-run homer off John Buzhardt, and my next at-bat, [White Sox manager Eddie] Stanky was on the top step of the dugout screaming, 'Buzz, stick one in his fucking ear.'"

- White Sox broadcaster Ken "Hawk" Harrelson, who belted a career-high 35 homers and a league-leading 109 RBI in 1968, The Year of the Pitcher

1968. The Year of the Pitcher. Former White Sox farmhand Denny McLain won 31 ballgames. Bob Gibson recorded a dystopic 1.12 ERA. Carl Yastrzemski won the AL batting crown with a paltry .301 average, the lowest ever for a batting champion. To celebrate this magical milestone in the history of Western Civilization, the Wookieepedia AgriCorps will host Meeting 68 on June 7 at 8 PM ET. Don't expect to get any hits.

The AL had a collective BA of .231, the lowest all-time
