Mickey Vernon was one of my favorite Senators when I was a kid and watched him play at old Griffith Stadium. While Vernon was outstanding defensively and had a solid .286 career BA, his BA was very inconsistent from year to year - he had two great years, winning the AL batting titles with .353 and .337 BAs, but he also had years when his BA was .242 and .251. Missing 2 years of play during WWII, didn't help his cause either.
