List of Major League Baseball annual doubles leaders
Ross Barnes was one of three players to lead the National League in doubles in its inaugural year of 1876, doing so with 21. He had also led the National Association twice during its inception, thereby making him the first player to lead two different leagues in doubles
In baseball, a double is recorded when the ball is hit so that the batter is able to advance to second base without an error by a defensive player. In Major League Baseball (MLB), the leader in each league (American League and National League) are recognized for their achievement.
The most doubles hit in one season is 67, as done by Earl Webb in 1931. Two players share the record for most times leading a league in doubles - Tris Speaker (AL) and Stan Musial (NL) each led their leagues eight times.
