Ted Williams, thought by many to be the game’s greatest hitter, who ended his career with a .344 batting average, never had 200 hits in a season. Pitchers walked him too many times.

Richie Ashburn hit a foul ball that broke a woman's nose. As she was being taken away on a stretcher, Ashburn fouled off another ball that struck and broke a bone in the woman's knee.

That's amazing. And what makes it even stranger is that, except for the Brewers and Mariners, all of the expansion teams have been to at least one World Series, so it's not like they've all been bad throughout their histories. They crawled out of the netherworld and had success.

Oops, you're right. I'd forgotten about that. That was a pretty good team, with Yount and Molitor.
