New all-time batting champ !!

Posted By: Anonymous

I am pretty sure the fair foul hit changed in like 1877. That's what helped end Roscoe Barnes career.

But I did discover that a foul ball didn't count as a strike till 1903.

So both Hugh Duffy and Nap Lajoie's numbers were probably helped significantly by that fact.

Long live Rogers Hornsby, I guess.
