"Mualal'a chances are good for several reasons," Williams explain e4 ■ "First, he hits the long ball and be can hit to all fields." the Boston Red Box batting star added.

''After a night game you just don’t have that old sip when you have to play the next nfternoon." he argued Muslal may have hit the nail right on the head there. There have been only 29 .400 hitters' in the history At major league baseball and only eight in what is considered the modern era since liwm Two of those eight. Nap Lajole and shoeless Joe Jackson, were in the early part of the, century. So only six players Ty Cobb. Rogers Hornsby. George Bixler. Harry Jleltman. Bill Terry and Williams have touched that figure In the faster hall era.
