Would have loved to seen him..."The Kid." Would have loved to seen him play and that swing-perfect and gets plenty of the well deserved accolades. However, in the chase for .400 since '41, one player is oft overlooked - Rodney Cline Carew. I Met Carew on a couple occasions - very pleasant individual. Once a coaching clinic at my high school when he played for the Angels, and another time a few years later at a Home Depot - let him know I appreciated the opportunity to see him perform. Rod Carew, .388 in 1977, had 694 plate appearances and 616 at-bats (239 hits in 156 games played), the season he flirted with .400. Power? He had 14 HR's and 100 RBI's. Scored 128 runs and added 23 stolen bases, led the league in triples, garnering the AL MVP. Williams had 456 at-bats in 143 games played, Brett 449 in 117 GP, and Gwynn 419 in 110 GP. Carew's point is obvious, the less AB's the greater opportunity to hit .400, and Carew hit .388 when "specialized" bullpens still weren't being utilized as they are today. (Williams has conceded that modern expansion has watered down pitching). <br />Carew's comments are from the recent New York Times article on Williams' .406 season. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/18/sports/baseball/ted-williamss-406-average-is-more-than-a-number.html?pagewanted=3&ref=sportsAdam E.

Shouldn't ...I think a .400 hitter is possible. Shouldn't batting average go up now that OBP and going deep into a count is emphasized. I don't know.<br />I think Williams hitting .388 at 39 is a more impressive number than his .406. Clearly, he lost speed and had no one betting behind him to protect him. Two books to check out on Williams are John Updike's Hub Fans Bid Kid Adieu and Williams' own book on batting.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12155670198050315601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1401348191841248956.post-87079898250165215302011-09-26T20:54:15.149-07:002011-09-26T20:54:15.149-07:00I doubt we'll ever see a .400 hitter again.

Studs like Matt Kemp and Ryan Braun make that possible.Dodgerbobblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05694741213203703723noreply@blogger.com
