We will just have to disagree Andrew. There were only 8 people to bat over .400 in the 20th century and one of those 8 was Sisler. I just don't think your inflated stats theory holds true here or there would have been more to accomplish the feat. Anybody that bats over .400 in the 20th century is a pretty darn good hitter in my book.Sisler did it twice. Plus Sisler only struck out 327 times in his career. So he always made contact. Over 2800 hits in 15 seasons is pretty good to me. Especially when he missed the entire '23 season when he would have most likely collected another 200 at least. I just don't believe you have to be a power hitter to be a good hitter. I have always thought Sisler was underrated and I still believe that.
