He led the league with the most hits, 220, the most doubles, 47, and the most triples, 20. It was the first time since 1939 that a national leaguer had made more than 200 hits. Musial's performance in the world series was not up to his showing when the Cards drubbed the Yankees in 1942, but the post-season play was not taken into considera‘tion fn making the award.
