Birthday of .400

08-30-2012, 12:55 PM

Today is the birthday of Ted Williams, the last player to bat .400 for the batting title.
It is also the birthday of Cal McVey, who was the first player to bat .400 (along with Levi Meyerle and Ross Barnes) in 1871, often the starting point in recognized major league baseball stats.

That's cool, I didn't know that. It's almost as good as the 1994 AL and NL MVPs' being born on the same day.

They call me Mr. Baseball. Not because of my love for the game; because of all the stitches in my head.
