Question
to settle an argument as to which league is better. can you tell me the top 5 player by position who led their league in hitting (avg, rbi, hr, obp), pitching (wins, era, so, cg), and feilding percentage.

Answer
Ron,

 I need some clarification: are you asking for the lifetime statistics for these category leaders? or season stats? If career, did the player have to spend the majority of his career in that league? How long must he have been there to be considered? Are active players included? Soon as you can let me know on this, I'll gather up your stats.
