Who has the highest lifetime batting average of all players who played in at least 500 games?

Is this a trick question and it's not Cobb?

Not Cobb. This guy hit .397 lifetime

Terry Forster.

But, since then Roberto Hernandez finished up his career with a .500 batting average (1/2) in 1010 games. I think there was one other guy who finsihed 1/1 in his career that beats Hernandez.

Interesting, I didn't know about Roberto Hernandez, but Forster is who I was thinking of

[barrysloate]

Over 16 seasons Forster was 31 for 78, for a batting average of .397. That's not easy to do.
