The ‘AL & NL batting champions since 2003’ quiz
The Los Angeles Dodgers blasted the New York Mets 9-0 in Game 1 of the NLCS, with right fielder Mookie Betts scoring the first run of the game  and capping off the scoring with a three-run double. After reaching on one of three Kodai Senga first inning walks, Max Muncy smacked a single to center field to drive in Betts and Freddy Freeman. In the bottom of the eighth, Betts snuck a ground ball past a diving Mark Vientos with the bases loaded to clear the bags and put a final exclamation mark on the game. While the Dodgers bats delivered, so did their pitching, with three consecutive shutouts making L.A. just the third team in MLB history to score at least 20 consecutive runs without allowing one of their own.
Which brings us to today’s quiz. Betts has gotten off to a relatively slow start at the plate this postseason, hitting just .227 so far, but has still contributed with his power by driving in six runs and hitting two home runs on his five hits. If he brings his average up, the Mets are in big trouble. With that being said, can you name every American and National League batting champion since 2003?Â
Good luck!
