One Foot Tsunami: Yellow-Bellied

Great story about what Ted Williams and Jose Reyes DON’T have in common.

It’s hard to believe:

1. That we’ve known batting average was a terrible measure of hitting prowess for ages and it’s still what people focus on
2. That players who make their living in this game are so focused on a stat that doesn’t matter very much (and don’t give me the crap about how it helps endorsements)
3. That Williams actually hit .411 that year (read to the bottom of the link)
4. That Reyes tried to convince fans he had their interests in mind
