Below are the statistical leaders for the Central League in offensive categories from 1931 to 2008. These statistics and records were compiled during an almost two year process. It is also important to keep in mind that the history of the Central League can be broken down in three different eras. The Early Wooden Bat Era ran from 1931 til 1980. The Metal Bat Era lasted from 1981-1998. While the Modern Wood Bat Era has run from 1999 to the Present. These Top 25 lists are not distinguished by the era, but whenever possible the year is given to help add some perspective.
