Rewind to 1994. Tony Gwynn ends the season with 165 hits in 419 at bats, equaling a .394 batting average.
What if, over the span of the season, he was able to muster just 3 more hits?
He would have hit the magical number .400 (.401, technically) for the
first time since Ted Williams reached it since 1941. If a pure hitter
like Tony Gwynn couldn't reach .400, what hope does anyone else have?
