Highest BA, OBP under .300

I've always kind of liked these guys: players with batting averages very close to their on base percentages. I wouldn't want them on my team necessarily, but I enjoy their inability or unwillingness to take walks.

With that in mind, I looked up the top batting averages in a single season (since 1871) with 400+ PA (to allow for catchers not playing every day) and an on base percentage under .300. Only those seasons featuring batting averages over .275 are listed (22 of 1,959):

Name	Season	AVG	OBP
Charlie Carr	1903	.281	.296
Ivan Rodriguez	2007	.281	.294
Harry Swacina	1914	.280	.297
Dave Foutz	1886	.280	.297
Ozzie Guillen	1993	.280	.292
Don Kolloway	1946	.280	.293
Johnny Estrada	2007	.278	.296
Damaso Garcia	1980	.278	.296
Joe Hornung	1883	.278	.291
Hal Chase	1917	.277	.296
Wayne Nordhagen	1980	.277	.294
Hick Carpenter	1885	.277	.295
Tom Burns	1886	.276	.298
Ron Coomer	1998	.276	.295
Ivan Rodriguez	2005	.276	.290
George Wright	1879	.276	.299
Brian Hunter	1996	.276	.297
Bengie Molina	2007	.276	.298
Rafael Ramirez	1988	.276	.298
Larry Bowa	1974	.275	.298
Jerry Denny	1883	.275	.291
Bill Buckner	1973	.275	.297

I find it interesting three 2007 catchers (Rodriguez, Estrada, and Bengie Molina) made it onto the list.
