re: Ted Williams Goat hitter

Look, I don't think anyone can definitively say who the greatest hitter of all time was (I believe it's Williams, but completely understand arguments made for Bonds, Ruth, etc.), but however this argument shakes out, let's rememberthat Williams .400 season was a .406 season, that he was below .400 to start the last day of the season, got to .400 during the first game of a double header and skip wanted to pull him, he refused, went 6-8 on the day, and finished at .406.

There are not many athletes that would have jeopardized the accomplishment for those last 5 or however many ABs. He did, and he made the most of them. Ted Williams was a bastard, and a wonderful hitter.
