No player has hit .400 while qualifying (3.1 plate appearances per team game) for the batting title since Ted Williams in 1941.
How would you feel if someone hit .400 in 2020 while playing roughly 100 less games? Do they deserve to be on the same list along with Williams, Hornsby, Cobb, etc? Do they deserve a big asterisk next to their name?
What if they break the modern day record (.4265 by Nap LaJoie in 1901) for highest batting average in a season? Should it be recognized as the new record?
