Prince was THIS close to batting .300

[leatherman]

I have never seen anyone miss .300 by so close a margin.

177 hits / 591 ABs = .2994924

You need .2995 to officially bat .300, so the difference is .0000076 (that is 7.6 millionths of a point).

he either needed 1 more hit, or one less AB. Now he scours the game logs to convince someone that he reached on an error which should have been called a hit, lol

To me, he hit .300.

To me, he hit .300.

From Eight Men Out:


Eddie Cicotte: It's about my bonus, Mr. Comiskey. You promised me a $10,000 bonus if I won 30 games this year and I think I deserve it.
Charles Comiskey: Harry, how many games did Mr. Cicotte win for us this year?
Harry: 29, Mr. Comiskey.
Eddie Cicotte: You told Kid to sit me down the last two weeks of the season to get ready for the series. That cost me five more starts; I know I would have won at least two more games.
Charles Comiskey: We had to get your arm ready for the series.
Eddie Cicotte: I deserve that bonus.
Charles Comiskey: 29 is not 30, Eddie. You will get only the money you deserve.
