Question
what team had all 8 starters with batting averages over 300?

Answer
Hi David,

Thanks for writing.

There may be more than 1 correct answer to this question.  One answer is the 1894 Philadelphia Phillies:

All 8 of their regulars (and many of their back-ups) batted over .300 that season.  Despite all the hitting, the team finished 4th in the standings!

Best Wishes,

Geoff
