I'm sure there are deadball era guys with BAs under .200, and there are likely a million guys with 1-2 ABs at .000. What qualifications?

Qualified batters are guys that have 3.1 plate appearances/team game. Since the move to the 162 game season, players must have 502 PA in the season to be qualified to win the batting title/OBP/Slugging etc.

It’s Davis....and a -3.2 WAR too, oh and he’s owed $22 mil and year for the next 4 years and is the sixth highest paid first baseman in MLb by average salary...so he will have a lot of chances to break his own record

I like that card. Mendoza was a bit tougher than average autograph and that is a great action shot on a nice retro design. I just wish they'd pick some better players for more of their selections. 2018 set is really blah...You know it's really bad when you are chasing Gary Pettis, Homer Bush and Gary Matthews!

I knew Mendoza was THE benchmark for the low batting average, but didn't realize before looking that he never had that many plate appearances in any given year. The fact that he has an Archives card at all is only because of this. Still, I am glad they did in this case.
