In no way I am blaming Jay.
You are right about recent players like Boggs and Henderson
And, of course getting enough Base Hits are the prime reason
for approaching the "elusive" and coveted .400 mark. However,
I find it quite interesting that Walks are a secondary factor
in this dynamic.
And, again, going back to Brett's comment at the end of the
1980 season...."I didn't have enough Walks"....He could have,
instead, said "I just didn't have enough Hits". It is somewhat
strange to me that he framed it in that manner. All he needed
was 9 extra hits.
