Ted Williams was at .399 with one doubleheader to play, although technically it would have rounded up to .400. It was suggested he sit out the doubleheader, which after all was meaningless. That was not Ted Williams' way. He played and went something like 6 for 8, and Connie Mack had ordered his pitchers not to groove any.
