Mickey Mantle bunted 21 times in 1956, his triple crown year: 12 for 20 (including 0 for 2 righty), plus a sacrifice. His batting average without bunting was .343, ten points below with the 12 for 20 bunting. Had Mantle not gotten those hits bunting, Ted Williams would have had a higher batting average: .345.
