>The youthful Colorado Rockies captured the National League record for consecutive seasons leading the league in slugging average and are well on their way to catching the Giants franchise for most seasons leading the league in slugging average.

Did you know that the New York Yankees led the American League in slugging average thirty different seasons — a Major League record —yet their longest consecutive streak was six (1953-1958) seasons?

The 1927 New York Yankees are considered by some as the greatest slugging baseball team in history, but their record was recently eclipsed by the 2003 Boston Red Sox.
