Chicks may dig the long ball, but for me, in baseball, .400 is the wow factor. Batting average might not be the beloved metric it once was, but if you can play a full season, and hit .400, with all the kinds of specialization in pitching today, that would wow me.
Tony Gwynn might have done it in 1994. He came up 3 hits shy, and had it not been for the strike, I think he had an excellent chance at it. He was in video game mode when they pulled the plug. In 10 August games, Gwynn was hitting an obscene .475 (19 for 40). In 43 PAs, he had 1 strikeout. That's locked in. And let me say, for the record, how much I miss Tony Gwynn. There was nothing like listening to him talk hitting. He had that wonderful laugh. Such a great guy.
