Can you play in both leagues and win the batting title?

Yes. To win a league batting title, a player must have a minimum of 502 plate appearances. If a player has 502 or more plate appearances when he is traded to the other league and winds up in 1st place in batting average for the league he was traded from, he is awarded the league title. To win an MLB (both leagues) batting title, a player must have a minimum of 502 plate appearances combined in both leagues.


Who has won a batting title in both leagues?

This is a subject which has been disputed. There are references stating that Ed Delahanty is the only player to win the MLB batting title in both leagues. He won the National League title in 1899 with a .410 average, but the dispute is regarding the 1902 title, where he batted .376 in the American League. Other references have Delahanty's .376 batting average listed as second highest to Nap Lajoie's .378 in 1902.
