Pennsylvania TedEnd of the 1941 season and the Red Sox are playing a Double-Header.......and, the Yankees had already
clinched the AL pennant.
Ted Williams starts that day with a .3999 BA and his Mgr suggests he sit it out to preserve a .400 stat.
Williams says "hell no" and proceeds to get 6 hits for 8 AB's that day to finish the 1941 season with .406 BA.
That's really what you call....."style and grace under pressure".....it doesn't get any better than that !
