Minimum 3,500 plate appearances (PA). Derived from data in stathead.com via baseball-reference.com. Glossary below.
Williams is a surprise because of his age and that he had enough PA to qualify. Mantle is a surprise because he finished with four down seasons; second in the 1950s. Stargell and Schmidt seem to fit. Bonds ... Trout, of course, fits.
More posts will follow with all with OPS+ at least 125 in a decade. High ranks in two decades:
Mantle: 2,1
Mays: 4,5
Aaron: 6,4
Dick Allen: 3,2
Schmidt: 7,1
Bonds: 1,1
BOLD: highest
Red: lowest; For AB/HR lowest is fewest AB to homer.
