Yea, Cecil Travis (218) I always thought that was amazing when you have a 56 game hitting streak and a guy hitting .406, how does Travis sneak in ? But the reason Teddy Ballgame didn't get the honor is because his "on base pct" was so high , even though he hit for average and tore the cover off the ball, he got alot of walks.
Very Cool on the Ron Gordon item ! I once had a GPC that was postmarked during the streak and always amazed me that with all the pressure DiMaggio still found time to respond to mail requests for his autograph.
