George Brett in 1980 was at or above .400 as late in the season as September 19. He went 0-for-4 on September 20 and dropped below .400 for good.Tony Gwynn hit .394 for the entire season (in 1994) and John Olerud was hitting .400 into August in 1993.
I think Larry Walker in 1997 also brought a .400 average into August and ended up at .390 (ish)

I think Tony Gwynn he had a season where he might have hit .400 but it was cut short due to the players strike in 1994.I can not say this for sure, but I think Todd Helton also took a .400 average quite late into a season not that long ago, of course he does play regularly at Coors Field so well.
