Chipper Jones finished with a career-high .364 average; as Pujols went 1-for-2 on Sunday to finish at .357. Jones’ average was the highest for an NL batting champ since Barry Bonds won with a .370 average in 2002.

Chipper Jones walked in his only at-bat against Houston on Sunday and earned his first National League batting title, edging St. Louis’ Albert Pujols. Jones fell just shy of Mickey Mantle’s season record for a switch hitter. Mantle batted .365 in 1957.
