Reminds of the story about Rod Carew...
Carew went to Twins management to ask for a raise in the winter of 1974. They told him no because he doesn't hit enough home runs (he had 3 HRs in 1974). Carew tells them that he will hit more HRs but he won't win the batting title with a .364 average again....
1975 season... he hits 14 HRs and still wins the batting title @ .359
I believe he got his raise.
