"When the idiots on both sides in the great pissing contest of 1994 (otherwise known as a labor dispute) aborted the season and canceled the World Series, Tony Gwynn was batting 0,392 and on the rise," p132.
Tony Gwynn was awesome. A God amongst mortals; career more 4 hit games than 2 strike-out games. 434 career strikeouts in 10,232 appearances. Gwynn faced the bets pitchers and put up these numbers, yet never broke 0.400. 0.400 may never happen again unless the rules are changed. Clearly baseball is entering the realm of consistent excellence and stable averages.
