One number stands out and tall, above the rest, and above what any baseball player has done since 1941:
.406
Rest in Peace, Ted.

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.
