Good morning.
Today will be warm and mostly sunny, with a one-third chance of afternoon showers, and a high of eighty.
On this day in 1941, Ted Williams becomes the last player to hit .400 in a season:
…the Boston Red Sox’s Ted Williams plays a double-header against the Philadelphia Athletics on the last day of the regular season and gets six hits in eight trips to the plate, to boost his batting average to .406 and become the first player since Bill Terry in 1930 to hit .400. Williams, who spent his entire career with the Sox, played his final game exactly 19 years later, on September 28, 1960, at Boston’s Fenway Park and hit a home run in his last time at bat, for a career total of 521 homeruns….
Impressive, wholly impressive.
