He would of hit .400 in ‘94, except for the strike. He was in a groove when the strike stopped the season and was hitting .394 at that point. Still the highest since Williams hit .406 on ‘41.

I remember when the San Diego franchise first launched and Tony Gwynn was the team. I mean that literally. Something like 40% of the entire offensive production of runs scored, RBIs, home runs, etc. came off the bat of Tony Gwynn.

They would've exceeded the pathetic record of the 1962 New York Mets were it not for Tony Gwynn.

Even with him, they came close.

That the strike cost Mr. Gwynn the opportunity to hit .400 was the reason I quit on mlb.

I figured that if adding more $$ to already inflated salaries mattered more than the game, they would not get my $$. It was my opinion (albeit a lame one) at the time that the players could have made more hay by finishing the with what very easily could have been a .400 hitter and a 60 HR slugger (Junior). Promoting those achievements and putting fans in seats would have provided great leverage.

Up until that strike I ran a game on myself re: what mlb had become.
