THE GREATEST HITTER WHO EVER LIVED? (YEAH, I THINK HE PROBABLY WAS).................... TED WILLIAMS OF THE BOSTON RED SOX WENT SIX-FOR-EIGHT IN THE FINAL DOUBLEHEADER OF THE SEASON AGAINST THE PHILADELPHIA ATHLETICS ON THIS DAY- SEPTEMBER 28, 1941. TED THUS RAISED HIS BATTING AVERAGE FOR THE 41 SEASON TO .406. HE BECAME THE LAST .400 HITTER IN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL HISTORY. TEDS AVERAGE WAS ACTUALLY .3995 ON THE EVE OF THE DOUBLEHEADER (TECHNICALLY A .400 AVERAGE). HIS MANAGER OFFERED HIM A CHANCE TO JUST SIT OUT THE LAST TWO GAMES AND GUARANTEE A .400 FINAL AVERAGE. TED REFUSED AND DEMANDED TO PLAY BOTH GAMES.
