Lefties?

Riddle me this ..... why is it that 80% of the top 10 or so in batting average are lefties, but in pitching wins the story is reversed?

And I think you give Williams a bit more of a head start than he earned. My recollection is:

Cobb .366
Hornsby .358
Jackson .356
Williams .344

I know ... its perfect - so I hadta look it up. Hahahaa. Is it?

But I will concede that Williams would have increased his average if he hit to all fields (at the cost of HR production). Remember - he is part of that elite group of .600+ sluggers.
