Strictly going by batting average, the best hitter in the history of MLB was Ty Cobb who batted .366 for a career that lasted 24 seasons (1905-1928). He hit over .400 in three seasons and, other than his rookie season when he had 150 at bats and hit .240, never batted below .316 for a season (his second season). For a four year stretch (1910-1913) he batted .402 (.4018). Rogers Hornsby is second in career MLB batting average with .3585 over a career that lasted 23 seasons (1915-1937). Hornsby hit over .400 in three seasons and did Cobb one better by having a FIVE season (1921-1925) batting average of .402 (.4024).

What are the rules of baseball in 1971- 1990?

The basic rules were the same then as they are now. There is typically a rule or two changed each year...sometimes more, sometimes less. I'm thinking the Designated Hitter was added to the AL rules during this time period, which was a significant new rule, but most new rules or rule changes are minor.
