"Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox. Williams finished the 1941 season with a .406 batting average to become the first man since Rogers Hornsby in 1925 to hit over .400 for an entire season. No player has hit .400 since."
True, but George Brett gave it a pretty good run two decades ago and IMHO Shoeless Joe and Nap Lajoie, well Ty Cobb also, were Ted's equals. DFU, you must be a Dodgers fan? But, if you live in Upland, you are closer to the Big A....an Angel's fan? Cool stadium tho I haven't been there for 10 years.

I bled Dodger Blue but have not been to a game in several years. It is not the same game of my youth or when I was a young man. It is a game of mercenaries. I've been to half a dozen Angel games but they never excited me as did the Dodgers. I actually saw the first playoff game won by the Angels when they scored two in the bottom of the ninth to beat Baltimore.

Bill Terry batted .401 for the NYGiants in 1930.
